Edith And John: A Story Of Pittsburgh

By Franklin S Farquhar

In a city of mills and ambition, love dares to cross the invisible lines of class and wealth. Two hearts, one changing city. Set against the rise of industrial Pittsburgh, Edith And John: A Story Of Pittsburgh is an American classic novel that weaves historical romance fiction with incisive social insight. Franklin S. Farquhar follows Edith and John as they confront the pull of urban life and love, weighing social class and ambition against loyalty, conscience and desire. The result is a classic love story novel that doubles as a clear-eyed portrait of marriage and family drama in a world where respectability can matter more than feeling. Long neglected, this Pittsburgh historical novel offers a rare fictional window onto an old Pittsburgh romance and the social hierarchies of a growing American city. Similar to Edith Wharton in its focus on manners and moral choice, and close to an Upton Sinclair style novel in its feel for industry, labour and the costs of progress, it will resonate with classic literature fans and historical fiction readers alike. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, carefully prepared for readers who cherish urban love stories, and for collectors building a lasting library of American classics.
