This was excellent- but I love all of SInclair Lewis. Not as good as "Babbitt" though. Somewhat satirical, about a disaffected man whose wife never really loved him, convinces him to leave his working life in the US where he was a well-paid respected engineer, to practically live in Europe, while flaunting her affairs, etc. Good depiction of bleakness and depression and the emptiness and shallowness of much of life.
