About This Book

A comic domestic novel traces the fortunes of a provincial family as a proud father projects political hopes onto his son and insists on a conspicuous name and destiny; the narrative follows the boy's upbringing in a close-knit town, the household routines and rivalries, and the social entanglements and romances that shape several generations, blending light satire of civic pretensions with warm observation of manners and memory.
