- Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton's novel, Tower of Ivory, delves into the complexities of social class and morality in late 19th century San Francisco. The book is a poignant exploration of the sacrifices individuals make to maintain their social status and the repercussions of selfish decisions. Atherton's writing style is elegant and profound, drawing readers into a world where appearances are everything and true character is often buried beneath a facade of propriety. Tower of Ivory is a significant work of American realism, capturing the essence of society's expectations and the consequences of defying them with a keen eye for detail and psychological insight. Atherton's nuanced portrayal of her characters adds layers of depth to the narrative, making it a compelling read for those interested in historical fiction and social commentary. Tower of Ivory is a thought-provoking novel that challenges readers to reflect on the nature of privilege, power, and the pursuit of respectability.
