I'm excited to read this book. I'm heading off in a month to Newport (to visit a friend) and New York City. The author lived in both these places! Perfect! I may even pass this on to my friend in RI.********************************************
This is a really good book, but I'm not sure I liked it. It was sad and I generally like happier books.
It's all about the upper-class of NYC and the gilded age. I have to say, I thought the back cover book blurb gave too much away. Just because it's a classic, the publishers always assume that we know the story! This is also shown in all of the "introductions" that are written for classics. They sum up the whole plot.
I finished up this book quickly, because I am visiting Newport, Rhode Island, where Edith Wharton wrote part of this book. My friend just moved to Newport, so I thought she might be interested in this book.
*****************************************************
She was! Enjoy, chica!
A great read for Newporters who want to learn about life in the Gilded Age.

Enjoyed it very much. I want to know what is the "word" that Lily and Selden wanted to say to each other? I found the book on the wall of the seawalk. I plan to leave it for another reader.
