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.
