(I‘m out of picture ideas for this one, so my kindle library.)
Wharton‘s 3rd work of fiction, a novella from 1902, consists of two connected parts around Kate Peyton, née Orme. First a naive Kate discovers her fiancé has conned an inheritance and still marries him. In part 2 her son has a moral quandary. Kate is passionately well-meaning, morality driven and likable, but strained by circumstance, and ultimately humanly flawed.
