Written by Katherine Mosby - Audio book performed by Jeff Woodman - Unabridged Fiction - 6 CASSETTES - 7.5 hours Publisher, Harper Audio (April 2002) 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 Park Avenue to 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. Katherine Mosby beautifully traces the trajectory of consequence that will change all three lives. The Season of Lillian Dawes is a wondrous novel that chronicles a young man's first tour of the adult world. About the Author: Katherine Mosby lives in New York and is an adjunct professor at NYU. She is the author of a collection of poetry, The Book of Uncommon Prayer, and a novel, Private Altars, which won the Book-of-the-Month Club's First Fiction Award. |
