A Beautiful Finale

After the War is a beautiful finale to the wonderful writing career of Alice Adams. In typical Alice Adams style, this novel follows the life of her main character, Cynthia Baird, and also weaves itself around the lives of other characters important to Cynthia. Utilizing the character "vignettes" that Adams so wonderfully writes, the novel takes the reader through the emotions of love, rejection, death and strengthening of personal character. Fans of Alice Adams MUST read this book!
