This is my first Edith Wharton and I adored this. The short, Summery novella felt like the perfect pick up for a warm June weekend. I certainly got more than I expected in this Feminist tale about a woman’s choices (or lack thereof) and a wonderful, flawed character at its centre. I must read more from Wharton in the future.
