Customer Reviews

a great collection

these 3 novels represent the best of Wharton, Age of Innocence is a classic and House of Mirth , esp books 13 , 14 represent the best of her work. In fact , these are better than Ethan Fromm and some of the short stories. I will in time read the Custom of the Country , and her later works which are often hard to find and poorly reviewed in Modern American literature
