A Harvard reunion prompts a Boston Brahmin’s search for meaning in this comedy of manners by the number-one New York Times best-selling author of Point of No Return.

In preparation for the 25th reunion of his class at Harvard, Harry Pulham is asked to collect and edit the personal histories of his fellow alumni. 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.”

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, 20 years later, Harry believes that his story could not have turned out any other way.

A clever satire that achieves heartbreaking poignancy, H. M. Pulham, Esquire is a masterpiece from the author declared by the New York Times to be “our foremost fictional chronicler of the well-born.”

I love John Marquards books so much! I wish that there were living artists who could write like this. There probably are, but I just haven't found them yet.

Perhaps before committing to the book one should read the background of the author. I was not aware of his background or when the book was written. Perhaps his style fit the reading public in the 1940's and 1950's but I would say that it is now dated. Only one character in the book did I "like" but she did not get enough air time. I felt that no one could be as naive as the main character and function in his family and business role. Far too many dialogues with the main character that did not add much of anything to the story.
