Despite only being released on December 1, 1950, it was ranked as the second best-selling novel in the United States for 1950.[2] Over two million copies were in print by the mid-1950s.[3][4][5] It also topped the New York Times Best Seller list for eight weeks in 1951. The novel is set in Boston and explores a married couple facing the elitist expectations and norms of Boston society. Kirkus Reviews described it as a "meticulously caparisoned romantic novel."[6] William Darby's 1987 review of the popular literature of the 1950s describes the novel as "a characteristic woman's novel", which "unfolds at an excruciating pace."[7] The novel was also serialized in Good Housekeeping magazine in November and December 1950.[8] References1. ^(28 July 1951).
