Last Proud Gallop

Last Proud Gallop, a novel by Gerald F. Sweeney, explores how men and women love differently.


The Lost Generation is emerging. It's 1919 and the Jazz Age is about to erupt. Six vibrant youths seek fulfillment in the postwar time-lapse between the demise of Victorian values and the rise of the Flapper, all set against the wealthy and power-driven background of Long Island's polo set, glittering hunt balls, the early Hamptons, and Manhattan in its flower.


It's a love story between Tad Hancock, a politically active reformer and war hero and a sexually liberated firebrand named Pamela, a true American courtesan. 


The subplot involves the support and opposition they receive from competing factions of Mayfair's socially and financially entrenched.
