Elizabeth Appleton is a novel by John O'Hara written in 1960 and first published in 1963. The story is set mostly in Pennsylvania, and the time of the narrative stretches from the early 1930s to 1950. As in earlier novels, O'Hara minutely chronicles small-town life in America in the first half of the 20th century, especially its social and sexual mores. Source: Wikipedia (en)
