"His Children's Children" is a compelling multi-generational saga that masterfully captures the evolution of New York's high society at a critical turning point in American history. This sweeping narrative traces the rise and eventual moral fragmentation of the Kayne family across three generations. At the heart of the story is Peter Kayne, the self-made patriarch who built a vast fortune, and his descendants, who must navigate the shifting social tides of the post-World War I era. As the story moves from the gilded era of the late 19th century into the restless energy of the Jazz Age, Arthur Train explores the inevitable conflict between traditional Victorian values and the newfound freedoms of the 1920s. The novel delves into themes of wealth, social ambition, and the fragility of family legacies. Through the lens of the Kayne family, readers are offered a vivid portrait of an American aristocracy in transition, struggling to maintain its footing in a rapidly modernizing world.
