The Fall of Valor

3.2/5 ( ratings)

The first significant work of American literature to confront the subjefct of homosexuality, this extraordinary novel is as relevant today as it was forty years ago, when it first shocked World War II America.

The Fall of Valor is an unflinching portrayal of a marriage that has faded to a mere duty. When John and Ethel Grandin vacation on Nantucket, they befriend a young marine captain. The holiday, which had been intended to restore the couple's marriage, blasts it wider apart than ever, when John Grandin Finds himself hopelessly in love with the handsome marine.

This moving work of emotions in passage was ahead of its time in 1946. Now The Fall of Valor will speak to a new generation, one living in a world of innocence lost, yet not completely free from the taboos of the past.
