New York : Delacorte Press, 1970. ©1969. 723 pages. Presents the story of Rudolph, Gretchen, and Thomas Jordache, children of an embittered German immigrant. Nurtured on traditional views of American success, each pursues the illusion of happiness in his own way, determined to achieve his "birthright." Starting with their teenage years in a Hudson River town, we follow the Jordaches from Greenwich Village to Hollywood, from a small town in Ohio to a luxury resort on the Mediterranean, presenting a sweeping panorama of the postwar United States, from the neuroticism of the McCarthy era to the overnight success stories of the post-depression boom. 19961024.
