Eleanor, Martha, and Penny King, though sisters, grow up in separate households, their lives linked yet completely individual. This intimate novel about them shows the three ways in which women can work out their own destinies in today's world. Eleanor, charming and serene, becomes the successful wife of a successful businessman. Yet beneath the comfort and tranquillity of her outward life are frustration and incompleteness. Penny, as greedy as she is breath-takingly beautiful, decides that she will take anything she wants from the world. In return she gives nothing, not even honest passion. Her reward is contempt and dislike from those she believes to be her friends. Martha is a talented, common-sense girl who makes a reputation as a teacher and writer before she marries Bill Knight-and discovers that, once married, a woman's life is no longer her own. How each of these sisters solves her own problem in her own way is the theme of this provocative novel by an author already successful in another field of fiction. Mrs. Marlett's story is a warm and human narrative of women in search of fulfillment in a world in which women's responsibilities have enlarged along with their opportunities.
