About This Novel
The story mainly takes place in the town of Sweetwater along the Burlington Railway in the western United States. It tells the story of the heroine Marianne Forest's fateful twists and turns from one marriage to another. The smart, beautiful, noble and charming Mrs. Forest lives a prosperous life in Sweetwater Town with her husband, who is 25 years older than her. The guest Frank is her secret lover. When the national financial crisis hit, the family experienced a serious financial crisis, and Mr. Forest's health plummeted as a result, and he died of a stroke not long after. The young descendant Ivy Peters, who has coveted everything in the Forrester family for a long time, took advantage of the opportunity, causing Mrs. Forrester to deviate from the principles of life when her husband was alive, join in the vulgar people, go astray, and finally abandon everything here and leave Sweetwater Town. The novel expresses the dimness of the ancient pioneering spirit under the impact of material civilization and expresses the author's dissatisfaction with the increasingly materialistic and money-oriented western society. It is considered an elegy for the pioneering era.
