Unleavened Bread

Unleavened Bread

by Robert Grant

Set in late 19th-century Boston, *Unleavened Bread* delves into the complexities of social ambition and the pursuit of status. The story follows a self-made businessman, who marries a woman deeply consumed by the desire to climb the social ladder. The novel explores themes of social mobility, the hypocrisy of high society, and the corrosive nature of unchecked ambition. Grant's sharp wit and keen observations of human nature make *Unleavened Bread* a compelling and enduring portrait of societal aspirations and the compromises often made in their pursuit.
