Description

In North Dormer, Charity Royall meets visiting architect Lucius Harney, and their affair deepens while he conceals his engagement to Annabel Balch and guardian Mr Royall presses his own claim. Wharton?s stark small-town romance of desire, class, and a summer that will not stay innocent. Spoken as when heat and secrecy leave nowhere left to hide.

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.
