We Three

We Three, by Gouverneur Morris, is a witty, gracefully observed work of fiction that follows an intimate triangle set against the glittering social seasons of early 20th‑century America. Morris’s jaunty, first‑person narrator guides us through Palm Beach, Aiken, Bar Harbor, Newport and Europe, sketching the rituals of high society with sharp humor and a novelist’s eye for detail. Published in 1916, the novel captures a world poised between Victorian restraint and modern complications: marriage, promise, rivalry and the polite games people play to avoid confronting the heart. Themes of choice, loyalty and the tensions between public appearances and private desire run throughout, while Morris’s crisp dialogue and ironic tone make the book both a character study and a gentle social satire. The prose balances tenderness and comic bite without revealing the story’s turning points. Ideal for listeners who enjoy classic literary fiction and period social comedies, We Three offers a richly voiced audio experience—perfect for fans of genteel wit, character-driven narratives, and vintage storytelling that illuminates the manners and mores of a vanished era.
