Description
Edith Wharton's final novel tells a story of love in the gilded age that crosses the boundaries of society. Set against the backdrop of 1870s America and England, the novel follows five wealthy American girls who are denied entry into New York Society due to their parents' relatively new wealth. At the suggestion of their clever governess, the girls sail to London, where they marry lords, earls, and dukes who find their beauty charming - and their wealth extremely useful. The result is a richly engaging tale of love, social class, and the complexities of relationships.
