First published in 1930 and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1931, Years of Grace is a sweeping and deeply human portrait of American life and womanhood in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The novel follows Jane Ward Carver from her youth in Victorian Chicago through marriage, motherhood, and the many personal and societal changes that shape her life. Through Jane’s story, Barnes explores the evolving roles of women, the tension between tradition and independence, and the quiet strength found in grace and perseverance.

Written with warmth, insight, and historical detail, Years of Grace is both an intimate family chronicle and a powerful reflection on the passage of time and the enduring values that guide us.

This Franklin Library edition is a beautifully crafted collector’s volume, bound in full premium leather with 22k gold accents. It features gilded page edges and raised spine bands, printed on archival-quality acid-neutral paper with a durable sewn binding. The book is finished with elegant silk moiré endpapers and includes a satin ribbon marker, making it an heirloom-quality addition to any fine library.
