Summary "Early Autumn" by Louis Bromfield is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of a New England family gathering, the story revolves around the Pentland family, particularly focusing on the introduction of Sybil Pentland, a young woman returning from Paris, and the impact of her mother, Sabine Callendar, on the family dynamics. The narrative delves into themes of familial relations, social status, and the tension between tradition and modernity. The opening of the novel presents an elaborate ball at the Pentland estate intended to reestablish the family's fading social prominence. Sybil's return from Paris is central to this event, yet it is her mother, Sabine, who commands attention due to her striking presence and rebellious spirit. Amidst the grandeur, a sense of underlying tension permeates the gathering, highlighted by Aunt Cassie's disapproval of Sabine's life choices and the strained atmosphere that reflects a clash between old conventions and the emerging modern world. As the characters navigate this complex social landscape, it becomes clear that the evening carries deeper implications for their relationships and identities.
