About this listen

In this captivating collection of ten stories, first published in 1904, Edith Wharton expertly unravels the intricate customs, quirks, and challenges of courtship and marriage among the elite of New York society at the dawn of the twentieth century. While two tales transport us to Italy, the themes of fidelity and the emotional complexities faced by both protagonists and outsiders resonate universally. Whartons signature blend of gentle and sharp irony invites readers to explore the depths of human behavior and relationships. (Summary by Nicholas Clifford)
