Sobre este libro

Alice Adams, a pretty, clever and ambitious girl in a Midwestern city, longs to belong to the world of the rich young people she grew up with, but her family is poor: her father is a sick clerk at a wholesale drug company, and her mother nags him into starting a glue factory of his own. When the wealthy Arthur Russell begins to court her, Alice invents a grander life for herself and her family to impress him, and dreads the dinner at which he will see the truth.
