Now after reading your review, I want to read it now :) I also want to read Wharton's 'The Age of Innocence' and 'Ethan Fromme'. It is sad that in the New York of those days an intelligent, poor woman found it difficult to survive.Vishyhttp://vishytheknight.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989828528012145346.post-32576145086114065822011-06-22T03:07:25.138-07:002011-06-22T03:07:25.138-07:00I think you would like her - great female characte...I think you would like her - great female characters!<br /><br />I remember particularly enjoying ETHAN FROMME when I was a teenager . .Sarah Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145876806604726875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989828528012145346.post-70128078833038640742011-06-22T02:02:59.431-07:002011-06-22T02:02:59.431-07:00Interesting, I haven't read anything by Wharto...Interesting, I haven't read anything by Wharton but must try her works eventually!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102250492155489672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989828528012145346.post-84455885498519783232011-06-21T09:34:36.521-07:002011-06-21T09:34:36.521-07:00Oh, how interesting.

I find it interesting she wrote so movingly of those less wealthy - she cant have had much experience of all that. By the way, I am sure you know gutenberg.net?
