The Tower of Love Kindle Edition

by Stephen Birmingham (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

27 ratings

See all formats and editions

Back at his family’s New England estate, a man finds a second chance at love—and a devastating truth—in this novel by the author of Young Mr. Keefe.

At thirty-one years of age, Hugh Carey has ended both his marriage and his advertising partnership. With his life at loose ends, he’s returned to the family home in Connecticut—that imposing castle built by his grandfather—to take stock and start over. His mother is only too happy to offer her counsel, as she does for Hugh’s sister Patsy. But her reputation as the most effective woman since Lady MacBeth is well earned.

Also delighted to have Hugh back is Edrita Everett Smith. She’s the girl next door—and the one who got away. As Hugh and Edrita reconnect, it seems that little has changed, and their old romance is ready to blossom again. But in this quiet, well-heeled suburb, nothing is as simple as it seems. As buried jealousies come to light and new schemes are hatched, Hugh will learn what it truly takes to forge his own path.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“True, touching and enormously readable.” —Phyllis McGinley

“A fine, mature novel. It reminds one somewhat of the best of John Marquand. . . . This one leaves you pleading for more.” —Boston Herald

Stephen Birmingham was born in 1929 in Hartford, CT and graduated from Williams College in Massachusetts in 1950.
Mr. Birmingham was perhaps most noted for his worldwide best seller Our Crowd, published in 1967. The book, which has the subtitle A History of the Great Jewish Families of New York took over 18 months to research and write and, after publication, almost single-handedly created the literary genre of social histories. Our Crowd broke numerous records at its publication for, among other things, length of time on the NY Times Best Seller List, and confirmed Mr. Birmingham’s preeminence in the social history genre. Subsequently, he wrote several other books in the genre, including The Right People: A Portrait of the American Social Establishment, The Grandees: America’s Sephardic Elite, Real Lace: America’s Irish Rich, and Certain People: America’s Black Elite, among others.

It was such a sad story. Hugh was a very undeveloped character. The family had so many difficulties. I would not recommend this book to anyone.
