Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Delia rejected passion in favour of a secure marriage but cousin Charlotte followed her own heart, even though it meant remaining unwed and giving up her baby. Charlotte's sacrifice has allowed the child, Tina, an advantageous position in New York City's fashionable society as Delia's adopted daughter. Now Tina's a graceful young woman and ready to marry - and the anguish that Charlotte has long suppressed is ready to explode. In addition to her mastery of the novella, Edith Wharton was a keen observer of her own privileged class. Her skill at capturing telling details of nineteenth-century society elevates this soap-opera scenario of a mother's self-denial into a memorable and compelling drama. First published in serial form in The Red Book Magazine in 1922, the story has since become a classic of American literature and has served as the basis for a Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway play as well as a classic Hollywood film. This edition features an Introduction by Roxana Robinson, author of Cost. AUTHOR: The first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize, Edith Wharton (18621937) was born into a wealthy New York family. Her insider's view of high society during the Gilded Age informed her critically acclaimed novels and short stories. Wharton was also a travel writer as well as a trendsetting interior designer and landscape architect. "Aunt" Charlotte gave up her daughter to allow the child an advantageous position in 19th-century New York society. Years later, on the eve of the girl's wedding, Charlotte's suppressed anguish surfaces. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
