It is a sweeping and epic tale that captures the spirit of a bygone era and the timeless struggles of the human heart.1922. American novelist Hergesheimer has been called a naturalist writing of the romantic past. He is also the author of short stories, essays, biographies, and the autobiography, From an Old House. The Bright Shawl begins: When Howard Gage had gone, his mother�������s brother sat with his head bowed in frowning thought. The frown, however, was one of perplexity rather than disapproval: he was wholly unable to comprehend the younger man�������s attitude toward his experiences in the late war. The truth was, Charles Abbott acknowledged, that he understood nothing, nothing at all, about the present young. Indeed, if it hadn�������t been for the thoroughly absurd, the witless, things they constantly did, dispensing with their actual years he would have considered them the present ages. They were so-well, so gloomy.
