Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of New York at the end of the 19th century, this is the story of the conflict between a self-made millionaire and a fervent social revolutionary.
Howell's novel is both a vivid portrait of the realities of the American experience in an age of emerging social struggle, and a moving study of human relationships.
