"The tender romance of an American Darby and Joan. A book filled with sheer joy and with many surprises of plot..." In 1930, Sinclair Lewis became the first author from the United States (and the first from the Americas) to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, which was awarded "for his vigorous and graphic art of description and his ability to create, with wit and humor, new types of characters."
