The Resource  Unknown Label

Description: The work of novelist and short-story writer Edith Wharton showcases her eye for minute detail, whether it be in describing furnishings or people -- she creates vivid portraits of both characters and the settings in which they live. Wharton examines, often with a satirical eye, the double standards and hypocrisies of the rich, and the moral failures of all classes, contrasting them with those who are true to themselves. Wharton fans don't expect optimism or happy endings -- her stories are often unrelentingly bleak and tragic, but they are also realistic and absorbing reads that feature exceptional female characters. Start with: Ethan Frome
