by Eugene O'Neill Shattered when the love of her life is killed in the war and haunted by their unconsummated passion, Nina escapes her jealous Ivy League father and embarks on a series of tawdry sexual escapades until, cajoled by her appalled, long-suffering suitor Charles, she marries the amiable young Sam. But while pregnant, Nina learns a horrifying secret that precipitates a desperate, life-changing decision and propels her fatally into the arms of another.Following a family from the aftermath of World War One until the late 1940s, Eugene O'Neill's audacious epic is one of the great masterpieces of American theatre. This edition - part of the NHB O'Neill collection - contains the full text with an extensive bibliography, biography of the playwright and illuminating introduction to the play.
