Set in the heart of the American Midwest during the transitional era of the early 20th century, the story revolves around the Amberson family, once the wealthiest and most prestigious clan in their town.

As the narrative unfolds, themes of social class, progress, and personal identity emerge, sometimes with poignant consequences. The rise of the automobile industry intertwines with the family's fate, illustrating the clash between tradition and modernity. Tarkington crafts a rich tapestry of characters, each reflecting diverse aspects of American life, capturing the essence of a vibrant yet tumultuous period in history.
