Edith Wharton's novels of manners seem to grow in stature as time passes. Here she draws a beautiful social climber, Undine Sprague, who is a monster of selfishness and honestly doesn't know it. Although the worlds she wants to conquer have vanished, Undine herself is amazingly recognizable. She marries well above herself twice and both times fails to recognize her husbands' strengths of character or the weakness of her own, and it is they, not she, who pay the price.

This book went straight into the trash. Completely unreadable. It is some sort of cheapo reprint on large size paper with print so tiny, so minuscule, I would have had to use a magnifying glass to read it -- and that is just not worth it. Ordinarily I would have donated it to the library, but I wouldn't wish this piece of junk on my worst enemy. This publication is an assault on the memory of the revered Edith
Wharton.
