Description

"The Green Hat" by Michael Arlen is a novel published in 1924 about London's bright young things in the post-World War One era. The story follows Iris Storm, a femme fatale who drives a Hispano-Suiza automobile and navigates romantic entanglements through bohemian London society. Set in Mayfair's Shepherd Market, the novel explores the lives of a generation seeking pleasure and meaning after the war. Its frank treatment of contemporary life made it both a bestseller and a controversial work that challenged social conventions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
