'Though the years are sad, the days have a way of being jubilant.'

Haven't updated in a while due to moving flats but this was too rich & wonderful not to recommend. I knew nothing about Wharton's life and this superb biography of a difficult, unlikeable, magnificent, thwarted, 'lonely-hearted and remembering' person has not only remedied that but enriched Wharton's writing for me. Masterful biography. Adored it.

A biography of Edith Wharton with an emphasis on New York of the time and Wharton's work.
