The action takes place over a single summer afternoon in the late 1920s in a French country house. Alexandra Henry, a young American heiress, hosts the narrator, Alwyn Tower; from there, the novel moves on a subtle psychological plane, without major external events.
The original title is «The Pilgrim Hawk» and the work was first published in 1940. This edition includes a foreword by Michael Cunningham and belongs to Lumen's Narrativa collection.
For readers of psychological fiction and twentieth-century American literary classics.
