| Publisher Description: Booth Tarkinton was an American novelist and dramatist best known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning novels The Magnificent Ambersons and Alice Adams. Alice Adams won a Pulitzer Prize in 1922. This is the story of a small-town girl from the Midwest who has charm and ambition but lacks imagination, money, and background. Her social climbing mother and simple-minded father complicate her attempts to build a successful career and her hopes of finding a rich husband. She makes up stories that lead her family to suffer scandals and push her further from her goal. |
