Plot summary
Laurence Mackay gives up his professorship to review theater for a major New York newspaper, joining the critics who decide what survives on Broadway. He and Kate, his wife, are raising four boys in a two-bedroom city apartment, and their lease has run out with no country house found. Larry's first assignment is a new show by Alfred North, the family's best friend and the godfather of the children. Kate, meanwhile, keeps the household running and fits the family into a run-down house in Hooton once they take it. The job brings invitations to parties Larry once avoided, and Kate begins to believe the work is changing him.
