Glasgow set this 1909 novel in Richmond, Virginia, during the last two decades of the nineteenth century. It features the tempestuous romance between a driven industrialist with humble roots and a woman from a background of wealth and privilege. An early twentieth-century review in the New York Times praised the author's sure instinct for the dramatic situation and the telling phrase.
