A review by lberestecki
The Mother's Recompense by Edith Wharton
4.0
Plot: It was pretty easy to figure out where things were headed in this book, but that didn't detract from the story. It's interesting to read about how once small incident can so greatly affect the lives of many.
Characters: None of the characters were particularly likable, but Wharton excels at writing characters that are fully fleshed out and seem very real. They don't need to be likable because you feel like you're reading about real people.
Overall: Some of Wharton's less famous works are really great, and this is one of those. I would definitely recommend it to fans of her writing. I always appreciate that her books are high quality, but are very readable and accessible.
