Myra Meets His Family (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419136313)

Myra Meets His Family is a short story written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It tells the story of Myra, a young woman who has fallen in love with a man named Clay. However, when she goes to meet his family, she discovers that they are very different from her own. Clay's family is wealthy and sophisticated, while Myra's family is simple and down-to-earth.As Myra tries to fit in with Clay's family, she begins to feel out of place and uncomfortable. She struggles to understand their customs and ways of life, and she begins to question whether she truly belongs with Clay. Throughout the story, Fitzgerald explores themes of class, identity, and the struggle to fit in.Myra Meets His Family is a poignant and thought-provoking story that offers a glimpse into the complexities of human relationships and the challenges of navigating different social circles. With his characteristic wit and insight, Fitzgerald paints a vivid picture of a young woman's journey of self-discovery and the obstacles she must overcome to find her place in the world.She had lain there an hour perhaps when she was startled from a slow reverie by a sharp cry which seemed to proceed from the adjoining room. She sat up in bed and listened, and in a minute it was repeated. It sounded exactly like the plaint of a weary child stopped summarily by the placing of a hand over its mouth. In the dark silence her bewilderment shaded gradually off into uneasiness. She waited for the cry to recur, but straining her ears she heard only the intense crowded stillness of three o'clock. She wondered where Knowleton slept, remembered that his bedroom was over in the other wing just beyond his mother's.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
