Charlotte's Marriage

Title

Charlotte's Marriage

Description

In “Charlotte's Marriage,” Suckow again contrasts two women and their choices. Grace VanCamp, a wealthy Iowan “wintering” in California, contrives to look up Charlotte, a girlhood friend Grace always envied. Charlotte always possessed a “distinction” that eluded Grace. Charlotte was the most popular girl in school, and she married Ken, the handsome most popular man in college. But Charlotte and Ken leave town and settle on their own in California when Charlotte's father belittles Ken. Charlotte's and Grace's fortunes now seem reversed—and Grace must see this for herself. What she finds will spur many thoughts and memories in readers.
