About this title

About the Author:

Edith Wharton was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist, known for such classics as The House of Mirth, Ethan Frome, and The Age of Innocence, for which she won the Pulitzer Prize in 1921. A member of the New York elite, Wharton drew on her experiences as part of society to critique its inner workings and the conflict between personal desires and societal norms. Wharton died in 1937, leaving behind a rich literary legacy.

Review:

?'The whole civilian part of the country seems merged in one symbolic figure, carrying help and hope to the fighters....The only death the Frenchmen fear is not the death in the trenches, but death in the extinction of their national ideal.' This is the France that Mrs. Wharton sees.?-Boston Transcript
