The Awkward Age

The story of young Nanda Brookenham's struggle to preserve her honesty in the brilliant but corrupt world of her parents is a drama of innocence betrayed yet preserved. Conceived like a play terms of scenes and conducted largely through witty dialogue, the novel bears the triumphant signs of his painful apprenticeship in the theatre

Povestea luptei tinerei Nanda Brookenham de a-si pastra onestitatea in lumea stralucitoare, dar corupta, a parintilor ei este o drama a inocentei tradate, dar pastrate. Conceput ca o piesa de teatru, cu scene si condus in mare parte prin dialoguri ingenioase, romanul poarta semnele triumfatoare ale uceniciei sale dureroase in teatru.
