A glance at the previous year's class book tells him just how tedious the assignment will be: \"I have been very busy all this time practising corporation law and trying to raise a family,\" a typical entry reads. \"I still like to go to the football games and cheer for Harvard.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Harry's autobiography is almost indistinguishable from those of his classmates. From his career at a Boston investment firm to his marriage to childhood friend Kay Motford, he has always made the safe, familiar choice--with one exception. For a brief interlude after World War I, Harry joined an advertising agency in Manhattan and fell in love with a beautiful, independent woman unlike anyone he had ever met. A wholly unexpected future opened up for him in those few months, but when family obligations called him back to New England, the relationship came to a sudden end. Now, twenty years later, Harry believes that his story could not have turned out any other way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A clever satire that achieves heartbreaking poignancy, \u003ci\u003eH. M.
