F. Scott Fitzgerald 
Ice Palace 

Sally Carrol, living in Tarleton, isn’t your typical Southern belle.Bored with provincial life, she jumps at the chance to visit her fiancee’s family, in the North. However, when she arrives in Bellamy, she’s given a very frosty reception. When she is forced to spend the night in the eponymous Ice Palace, Sally must face some difficult home truths. An exploration of social differences and the difference between dreams and reality, ‚The Ice Palace‘ is a deftly-written, modernist story and an ideal introduction to the author.-
