About this ebook
Newland Archer is engaged to the correct girl when her cousin returns from Europe with a failed marriage behind her and no intention of pretending otherwise. Wharton was born inside old New York and dismantled it from the inside; this was the first novel by a woman to win the Pulitzer, and she wrote it in France, in her fifties, about a world that had already vanished. One hundred plates of painting from 1800 to 1921, among them Cassatt and Homer, catch the parlors, promenades and summer light of the world Wharton's New York was already losing.
