Synopsis:
"Aunt" Charlotte gave up her daughter to allow the child an advantageous position in New York City's fashionable society of the mid-1800s. Years later, on the eve of the girl's wedding, Charlotte's suppressed anguish surfaces. Wharton's keen eye for observing and articulating telling details of class and social mores elevates the soap-opera scenario of a mother's sacrifice into a memorable and compelling drama. Includes an original Introduction by Roxana Robinson, author of Cost.
About the Author: The first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize, Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was born into a wealthy New York family. Her insider's view of high society during the Gilded Age informed her critically acclaimed novels and short stories. Wharton was also a travel writer as well as a trendsetting interior designer and landscape architect.

The Old Maid
Seller: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spain
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Bueno. : Delia rechazó la pasión en favor de un matrimonio seguro, pero su prima Charlotte siguió su propio corazón, aunque eso significara permanecer soltera y renunciar a su bebé. El sacrificio de Charlotte ha permitido que la niña, Tina, tenga una posición ventajosa en la sociedad de moda de Nueva York como hija adoptiva de Delia. Ahora Tina es una joven elegante y está lista para casarse, y la angustia que Charlotte ha reprimido durante mucho tiempo está lista para explotar. Además de su dominio de la novela, Edith Wharton fue una aguda observadora de su propia clase privilegiada. Su habilidad para capturar detalles reveladores de la sociedad del siglo XIX eleva este escenario de telenovela del auto-sacrificio de una madre a un drama memorable y convincente. Publicada por primera vez en forma serializada en The Red Book Magazine en 1922, la historia se ha convertido desde entonces en un clásico de la literatura estadounidense y ha servido de base para una obra de Broadway ganadora del Premio Pulitzer, así como para una película clásica de Hollywood. Esta edición presenta una introducción de Roxana Robinson, autora de Cost.
