The Mother's Recompense by Edith Wharton
4.0
EDITH! EDITH! EDITH!
When picturing the details of my future, it most definitely includes a bookshelf with the full oeuvre of Edith Wharton. She never ceases to impress me, even with her non-stop unhappily ever afters.
This was juicy, well-written, gave yet another brilliant glimpse to a time, place, and society of a bygone era.
Poor, poor Kate. 130 pages in, she found out what we knew all along just by reading the back of the book. Her inner ramblings and fears and confusions spoke to me, big time. You couldn't help but feel for her.
I want more!
