Set in the early 20th century, the story explores the decline of a wealthy Midwestern family, the Ambersons, as they confront the changes brought by industrialization and social shifts. The novel delves into themes of pride, nostalgia, and the impact of progress on traditional values. Recognized for its rich character development and social commentary, it won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1919 and has inspired multiple adaptations, including a notable film by Orson Welles.
