About this ebook
Written with genial sympathy, cynical humor, and distinguished realism, On the Staircase is an entrancing novel about the experiences, adventures, and emotions of a small group of ordinary young people. The story follows two households, one a cramped ménage, and the other an uninhibited, cheerful group—it is ultimately a hymn to the family.
