Hailed as a masterpiece from the moment of its first publication,
Revolutionary Road is the story of Frank and April Wheeler, a bright,
beautiful, and talented couple whose empty suburban life is held together
by the dream that greatness is only just round the corner. With
heartbreaking compassion and clarity, Richard Yates shows how Frank and
April mortgage their hopes and ideals, betraying in the end not only each
other, but their own best selves.
