About this book
A newspaper photograph draws two very different kinds of attention as a train carries passengers toward Northampton. Stage manager Max Hempel wants to judge Antoinette Holiday's promise as an actress, while reporter Dick Carson thinks of the young woman he loves. Known as Tony, she is preparing to play Rosalind at Smith College and hopes to follow her mother's theatrical career. Their thoughts introduce a romance in which professional ambitions and personal loyalties compete for attention.
Family advice and financial opportunity add further pressures to the young people's decisions. Tony agrees to wait before making a firm promise of marriage to Alan, after her uncle urges patience and caution. Philip Lambert receives a surprising offer to head a brokerage business from Carlotta's father. With its New England social setting, the novel offers readers a view of growing up through choices about work, love and responsibility.
