Description

The story is set in New York City and focuses on two sisters, Anna and Evelina Bunner, who run a small shop selling trinkets and knick-knacks. The sisters live a simple and contented life until the arrival of a mysterious young man named Mr. Haffen turns their world upside down. The sisters become embroiled in a series of events that challenge their assumptions about love, loyalty, and the true nature of happiness. The "Bunner Sisters" is a poignant tale about the power of relationships and the complexities of human nature.

Author

Edith Wharton (1862–1937) was born into old New York money, married badly, and wrote her way into a life of her own — much of it in France. The House of Mirth follows a woman who cannot afford a misstep; The Age of Innocence won the Pulitzer, the first for a woman in fiction. Drawing rooms, divorces, and the cost of being seen: she knew the furniture from the inside. Luxury is a trap with excellent lighting.
