Hudson River Bracketed
by Edith Wharton
In one of Edith Wharton's unjustly neglected novels, Hudson River Bracketed has two strong main characters – Vance Weston and Halo Spear. The first is an uneducated young man who comes to New York with a keen desire to write. Halo Spear is a bright and successful young woman who introduces Vance to literature, and they form a deep bond that develops and continues despite Vance's life's challenges, Halo's frustrations, and marriage.
