Their Own Country

By Alice Tisdale Hobart

Book Overview

Their Own Country is a novel by Alice Tisdale Hobart that tells the story of a group of American expatriates living in Paris during the 1920s. The main character, Laura, is a young woman who has recently arrived in Paris with her husband, an aspiring writer. As she navigates the complexities of expat life, Laura becomes involved with a group of artists and intellectuals who are struggling to find their place in the world.Through Laura's eyes, the reader is introduced to a cast of colorful characters, including a flamboyant painter, a cynical journalist, and a wealthy socialite. As the group grapples with questions of love, art, and identity, they must also confront the looming threat of World War II and the rise of fascism in Europe.Hobart's novel is a vivid portrait of a bygone era, capturing the excitement and uncertainty of the interwar years. It is also a poignant meditation on the nature of belonging and the search for meaning in a world that seems increasingly chaotic and uncertain. With its richly drawn characters and evocative setting, Their Own Country is a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of Paris or the expatriate experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
