Dive into the captivating world of the Fentriss sisters and their mother, a wealthy and educated family navigating the complexities of love in a suburban setting. Their pursuit for romance takes them on an adventurous journey, echoing the sentiments of F. Scott Fitzgerald, who remarked that this novel convinced some moralists that a woman could be seduced without losing her virtue. Scandalous for its time due to its candid exploration of sexuality and relationships, this book resonates with contemporary readers as if it were penned just yesterday. Written by a well-respected journalist and novelist, the work was so daring that it was published under a pseudonym. Flaming Youth is a must-read for those eager to understand the Jazz Age, the concept of the new woman from a male perspective, and the groundbreaking discourse of its era. - Summary by Stav Nisser.Copyright Culture and Heritage classics Arte Scienze sociali Storia e critica della letteratura
