Early Autumn

In Early Autumn: Escape Book 3, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Louis Bromfield delivers a powerful and emotionally charged portrait of love, loyalty, and rebellion in the shadow of America’s changing moral landscape. Set in the glittering yet constricted world of 1920s New England, this unforgettable literary drama follows a proud, old-money family as they face the crumbling traditions of wealth, class, and social expectation.

When Olivia Pentland, a woman raised to honor duty over desire, begins to question the rigid codes that have shaped her life, she ignites a quiet revolution inside her own heart—and her family’s legacy. Torn between passion and propriety, Olivia must choose between the comfort of convention and the danger of freedom in a society where reputation is everything.

A masterpiece of American family fiction, Early Autumn explores themes of love versus obligation, women’s independence, and the decline of an era built on privilege and appearances. Bromfield’s prose captures the romantic tension, the cultural elegance, and the emotional intensity of the Jazz Age, offering readers a timeless reflection on how the heart rebels against the world’s expectations.

Perfect for readers who love The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, this rediscovered classic stands as one of the most moving historical dramas of the early twentieth century. With its vivid characters, social insight, and bittersweet beauty, Early Autumn is both a love story and a mirror of a nation in transition—a story as resonant today as when it first won the Pulitzer Prize.
