About this title

Synopsis:

Edith Wharton's last novel, set in the 1870s, tells of five American beauties whose riches are too nouveau to open the doors of New York society. They set off instead for London. Edith Wharton also wrote "The Age of Innocence", "The House of Mirth" and "Ethan Frome".

Review:

"Brave, lively, engaging . . . a fairy-tale novel, miraculouly returned to life"
--The New York Times Book Review

"The Buccaneers brilliantly showcases Wharton near the top of her form."
--Chicago Tribune

"Mainwaring has added gloss to the story's original elegance and wit, and the novel emerges like a master's painting from the hands of a highly skilled restorer."
--Leon Edel

"Mainwaring's version of The Buccaneers is a tour de force. . . . [She] deserves high marks for her ingenuity, novelistic skill, and critical intelligence."
--USA Today

"A sense of unobtrusive accuracy of tone and detail prevails throughout Ms. Mainwaring's [writing]. . . . It's hard to imagine a better writer equipped to take on Edith Wharton."
--The Wall Street Journal
