From a Pulitzer Prize winner, a "masterly" novel follows a day in the life of several guests of a dinner party that disrupts their lives (The New York Times).
Who knew attending the dinner party of a scion from an old New York family could have such life-altering effects? In this Jazz Age novel originally published in 1930, an evening of jealousies and social tensions over dinner on Sutton Place comes to an end but it's the twenty-four hours that follow that prove most challenging for the guests, who confront infidelities, romance and for one hapless husband, accusations of murder. Adapted into a film starring Clive Brook and Kay Francis, Twenty-Four Hours is page-turning exploration of social climbing, adultery and crime from the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Early Autumn.
