A review by katreadsalot
The Buccaneers by Marion Mainwaring, Edith Wharton

4.0

I loved the different versions of womanhood, marriage, and family presented in this novel. It follows four American girls to England in the 1870s, and end up wed to Englishmen, with Nan St. George wed to a Duke. Each of them grows up, following their own path, though their friendship endures. I appreciated how the ending was happy, and yet also reflected society's impact on the choices Nan made.
