About this book
**From Goodreads:** Set in the academic world of Harvard and Cambridge, this novel dramatizes the plight of the embattled American liberal in the 1950s. Its central character is Edward Cavan, a brilliant English professor, who commits suicide. His death sets off a shock wave among Cavan's friends -- and changes things for some of them forever."It is impossible not to be interested in (Sarton's characters) and concerned with what concerns them". -- *The New Yorker*
