ISBN10: 1598537490, ISBN13: 9781598537499, [publisher: Penguin LLC US] Softcover The other side of Gatsby: rediscover this sensational bestseller that unveiled the Jazz Age from the flappers perspective Ranging from posh Beacon Hill to go-go New York City to stately Virginia, a sweeping coming-of-age story of three womens lives, loves, and ambitions in the 1920s, 30s and 40sAn uncompromising literary portrait of the interior lives of women, The Prodigal Women was an explosive hit when published in 1942, the scent of scandal propelling it to the bestseller list. It tells the intertwined stories of Leda March, a lonely New England schoolgirl, and Betsy and Maizie Jekyll, daughters of a transplanted Virginia clan who upend Boston society, tracing their friendship from adolescence into adulthood, through childhood bullying, a string of abusive marriages, dangerous liaisons, botched abortions, and feminist awakenings, with Leda ultimately turning her back on love and desire and embracing her own mysterious inner strength.Fascinating and gripping, The Prodigal Women was a crucial influence on such later works as Mary McCarthys The Group and Jacqueline Susanns Valley of the Dolls, and it remains powerfully resonant today.
