Davis' new novel, The Artistocrats, tells the story of the Carters, a powerful and wealthy family in the early 20th century who are struggling to maintain their grip on power. When their son, Tom, falls in love with a working-class girl, their world begins to unravel. Davis deftly weaves together the personal with the political, exploring the ways that class, race, and gender intersect to define our lives.

Set in a time when America was still emerging from the Great Depression, The Artistocrats is a story of hope, love, and family. It is a compelling look at the ways that art can change the world and the ways that the world can change the way we see art.; 8vo; $7.00.
