A review by mcoleman1250
The Late George Apley by John P. Marquand

3.0

Speedy summary: George Apley has passed away and a picture of his life is being put together by a friend using George's old letters.
Thoughts: I adore epistolary novels, which is why this Pulitzer winner stuck out! For me, the more I read the book the more interested I became. While George and the narrator both come from a place of extreme privilege (and this is very clear in the novel), the book really shows one person's reactions to a swiftly changing world. It took persistence to get invested.
