The Gods Arrive
by Edith Wharton
Rejecting a failed marriage, Halo Tarrant travels to Europe with brilliant young writer Vance Weston. When they walk around, their only desire is to serve him and his genius. However, ignoring the pain brought on by his emotional status, Vance accepts his loving attention and rejects the critical advice he previously welcomed. This extraordinary novel, which accompanies the Hudson River Parenthesis, shows the author's struggle for honesty and maturity, as well as the challenges that plunge men and women into a changing but hypocritical moral climate, even in the most idealistic relationship.
