This is an old-fashioned best seller by the author of A Summer Place and The Man in the Gray-Flannel Suit that is better red for sociological reasons than the actual story, which in the 21st Century is extremely silly. Simply put, it's the story of a group of the Haute Bourgeoisie, who seem to value "correct behavior" over accomplishing anything worthwhile, and a young man who pursues what he thinks is an unattainable girl only to be disillusioned once he catches her.. Reading it today, it just shows to me that people were just as materialistic and screwed up in 1970 as they are in 2015. ( )
