The Walworth family was the very symbol of virtue and distinction
for decades, rising to prominence as part of the splendor of New
York's aristocracy. When Frank Walworth travels to New York to
"settle a family difficulty" by shooting his father at point blank
range, his family must reveal their inner demons in a spectacular
trial to save him from execution. The resulting testimony exposes a
legacy of mania and abuse, and the stately reputation of the family
crumbles in a Gothic drama which the "New York Tribune "called
"sensational to the last degree."
"The Fall of the House of Walworth "gives us both the intimate
history of a family torn apart by violent obsessions, and a rich
portrait of the American social worlds in which they moved. In the
tradition of Edith Wharton, this is a riveting true story which
"rival s] the most extravagant Gothic novels of the day" ("The
Chicago Tribune)."
