Part of the Thrift Editions series
See all formats and editions

"Aunt" Charlotte gave up her daughter to allow the child an advantageous position in New York City's fashionable society of the mid-1800s.

Years later, on the eve of the girl's wedding, Charlotte's suppressed anguish surfaces.

Wharton's keen eye for observing and articulating telling details of class and social mores elevates the soap-opera scenario of a mother's sacrifice into a memorable and compelling drama.

Includes an original Introduction by Roxana Robinson, author of Cost.
