Hudson River Bracketed
by Edith Wharton
“To write the future, he must first conquer the past.”
A raw Midwestern talent ventures into the prestigious and often cruel literary circles of 1920s New York, where genius alone isn't enough to survive. Amidst the grand estates of the Hudson River Valley, he discovers that the price of artistic success is a complex dance between his humble past and a dazzling, elitist future.
