The Rise of Silas Lapham by William Dean Howells Loyal Books The Rise of Silas Lapham is the most widely read of W.D. Howells’ novels.

She marries a man she does not love who is many times her age and is thrust from adolescence to adulthood literally overnight. Clodagh travels to Europe and mingles with people of society and fashion which through her immaturity, she believes is her right. She finds instead uncertainty, despondency, and deceit.
