En savoir plus sur le livre

Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century industrialization, the story explores the decline of the once-prominent Amberson family, led by the arrogant George Amberson Minafer. As new money families rise to power, George's privileged life begins to unravel, particularly when he falls for the perceptive Lucy Morgan. Unbeknownst to him, her father shares a complicated history with George's mother, Isabel. The narrative captures themes of social change, family dynamics, and the consequences of George's misguided actions as he resists the shifting tides of fortune.
