I have now been looking for a book I once held in my hands in a now closed second-hand bookshop in my home town for a long time. As I can only slightly remember it having been a novel that had anything to do with Boston and was likely to have been written by a(ny) nineteenth-century American author in the literary style of (social) realism or perhaps naturalism, I would like to ask if someone has got a clue for me
It might as well have been a sequal (either written by Howells himself or someone else) to The Rise of Silas Lapham, 1885, but just as well the authors might have been Holmes or Wolfe Thank you for your help in advance.
