Tower in the West.

"[A] rather extraordinary and often difficult novel, but one that whether you like it or not, you won't easily forget. The Tower which gives [the book its] title is the lasting memorial to the memory of Jeff Hanes of St. Louis, brilliant young architect, killed in an accident in Norway... Here- in a tale that spans two world wars- we have the background of bust and boom, crisis and challenge; a tale peopled with racketeers, politicians, businessmen on the make, and women, all of whom seem married to the wrong men. There's flaming youth translated into not so glamorous middle age" (Kirkus Reviews).
