An enthralling book, rewarding to read & the deeper into it you get the more affecting it becomes. It is not merely that Edith Wharton has researched her subject (upper class society in 19th Century New York) but she lived it- it was her upbringing. It shows; you can see every detail in your mind as you read. Plus clear, well rounded characters. This book every reason to be called a classic. I read this as I like period dramas & (unusually) cannot fault it.
