The Wolves

0/5 ( ratings)

A family chronicle, unfolding the disintegration of a wealthy, middle class family of Havre, and the futile efforts of the younger generation to break away from the trammels of provincial society. A book that holds much of interest, in its teeming canvas of life in a Channel port, in its character drama -- the struggle of the old mother in the background, to get into her hands once more, the control of the impractical son, whose marriage to a peasant girl she deplored; the wife, ignoring her husband but wielding her power over her own offspring; the feud, underlying surface intimacy, between the wife, Madame Jobourg, and the mother of the girl her favorite son loves; the town as background, with intricacies of sub-plots adding color and verve.

Language: English

Pages: 775

Format: Hardcover
