Lucy Crown is a novel by American author Irwin Shaw, originally published in 1956. The story centers on an act of infidelity that shatters a family during the Depression era. The Crowns were always envied for their marriage, but Lucy was missing something. During a family trip to Vermont in the summer of 1937, her husband Oliver receives a call. Lucy has an affair with a younger man, and her son, Tony, discovers them, leading to betrayal and family estrangement. Twenty years later, Lucy and Tony meet again in a Paris bar, where Lucy sees an opportunity for redemption.
