Possession

In Possession: Escape Book 2, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Louis Bromfield continues his sweeping American family saga of love, betrayal, and moral decay among the privileged elite of the Jazz Age and early Depression era. Set against a backdrop of luxurious estates and glittering high society, this powerful novel explores the devastating cost of ambition, passion, and desire when people confuse love with possession.

At the heart of the story lies a complex marriage, built on pride and control rather than understanding. As jealousy, temptation, and social pressure tear at the fragile bonds between husband and wife, Bromfield reveals the human struggle between freedom and duty, heart and convention, emotion and restraint. It is a tale of people desperate to hold on to what they can never truly own — and the painful consequences that follow when they try.

Written with sharp psychological insight and rich, cinematic detail, Possession captures the restless energy of a world on the brink of change — a time when the old moral order was collapsing and a new generation sought meaning in love, art, and rebellion.

Rediscover this forgotten literary classic — a brilliant, emotionally charged portrait of a nation and a family trying to find redemption amid the glamour and corruption of high society. Perfect for readers who love Edith Wharton, Sinclair Lewis, or F. Scott Fitzgerald, and for anyone drawn to literary fiction filled with passion, power, and the consequences of choice.
