3.0

I wasn't sure what to make of this one. It probably wasn't the best place to start with Edith Wharton but I did like her writing style, which put me a bit in mind of Henry James. The storyline was interesting and I enjoyed reading about Glennard's struggles. Overall just ok but I will definitely try some more Wharton in the future.
