Über diesen Titel

 In The Edith Wharton Library, we open the drawing-room doors of another age and read the novels, tales, and travels in which society’s bright surfaces so often betray a darker design. Here are marriages arranged like treaties, fortunes that tremble at a whisper, and hearts that learn - too late - the cost of propriety.

Each episode offers a full-length chapter reading, patiently and plainly delivered, for listeners who prefer their drama civilized, their comedy edged, and their ghosts the sort that appear most often in daylight.Public domain

Her reflections proceed through memories of family decline and maternal ambitions, revealing a young woman caught between the crushing demands of social expectation and the yearning for authentic fulfilment.
