Work Description

A young woman brought up in a Brahmin family on Beacon Hill and her husband are exposed to different cultures for the first time when he joins a law firm that has experimented by hiring a Jew, an Irishman, and an Italian, in addition to their traditional Protestants.

Can Emily and Roger befriend these seeming upstarts without offending their own families and associates? This is a romantic novel set in Boston sometime around WWII. It describes, as most of this author's books do, the clash of class and caste and the struggle of heroines to break away from convention and follow their hearts. Sort of thing.
