Carney's House Party is a delightful excursion into the past, a much simpler time, and the history and traditions of Vassar Female College. Caroline (Carney) Sibley, from Deep Valley, Minnesota, debates the merits of inviting her wealthy Eastern roommate to her house party this coming summer. It is a good thing that she does and a swell time is had by all. The extensive character development, non-pedantic prose, and well-researched period details make the reader a welcome participant in the daily life and romantic interests of a time gone by.
"What doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"
This book was published in 1949, the year of my birth.
