"The blast of rifles shocked his ears, right and left; he squeezed the trigger and felt the stock of his own rifle drive hard into his shoulder and cheek, and then he fired again." "Robert Prentice is eighteen, and his boyhood dreams have disintegrated on the battlefields of Europe. At home, his mother, Alice, wraps herself in fantasy against the relentless disappointments of life." "From his portraits of these two damaged souls, Richard Yates creates a novel of post-war America, at odds with its own identity, striving to combine prosperity and ideals, and mercilessly exposed in the attempt to do so."--BOOK JACKET.
