the long version

"When he is expelled from boarding school, Gabriel Gibbs is sent to live with his older brother, Spencer, in New York. Rather than a punishment, this becomes an exhilarating invitation to a dazzling world, from smoking cigars at the Plaza Hotel to weekend house parties filled with tennis and cocktails. It is in this heady atmosphere - from white-gloved Park Avenue to literary Greenwich Village - that Gabriel first glimpses the elusive Lillian Dawes. Free-spirited and mysterious, Lillian captures the imaginations of those in "all the best circles," including both brothers. As their lives entwine, so begins the powerful and poignant unraveling of innocence."--BOOK JACKET.
