"Generation Without Farewell” is set in a small Hessian town during the American military occupation of Germany. Its characters confront one another across the chasm of national differences between the conquered and the conquerors.

Kay Boyle employs all her unique, well-known artistry and human warmth in telling the story of what ensues when antipathy, love, and social tension begin to interact.
