		The life and times of Jane Ward Carver: daughter of a good Chicago family, in love as a teen-ager with a sweet French/English lad, educated at Bryn Mawr, married to a dull but devoted banker, smitten with the rougish husband of her childhood best friend (a novelist/playwright) and, in the end, loving mother of three.
		The canvas of characters is broad, yet so little actually happens in the novel that it's amazing how much Barnes finds to write about them all.
		Her prose, however, are breathless, and Jane is an engaging Modern Woman (circa 1890s through 1920s) who battles her family to get an education (which she feels she never uses) and who tries to live with integrity and curiosity about the world.
