Charming, sulky, violent-tempered Grady, the last of a line of proud and pampered aristocrats, emerges as one of the most fascinating an pitiful characters of modern fiction. THe sorrow Grady brings to his lovely wife, whose affection he spurns for the sultry charms of the quadroon, Sallie John, and to everyone with whom he comes in contact, is a real disease - cancerous and as uncontrollable as Grady himself. Silently watching the drama in the big house, are the Negroes in their quarter. And even the tenant farmer striving to make his meager living from the impoverished soil is carried along in the current of Grady's downfall."
