About this audiobook
Edith Wharton
Edith Wharton was born in 1862 to a prominent and wealthy New York family. In 1885 she married Boston socialite 'Teddy' Wharton but the marriage was unhappy and they divorced in 1913. The couple travelled frequently to Europe and settled in France, where Wharton stayed until her death in 1937. Her first major novel was The House of Mirth (1905); many short stories, travel books, memoirs and novels followed, including Ethan Frome (1911) and The Reef (1912). She was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature with The Age of Innocence (1920) and she was thrice nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. She was also decorated for her humanitarian work during the First World War.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's a classic, which I had never read before, and it was beautiful, moving, and surprisingly relevant. Highly recommend it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Compelling story beautifully narrated. Excellent through and through. I loved it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The book is fantastic— but I couldn’t endure the reader after half an hour of mispronounced foreign words, the word “a” regularly pronounced like the letter A, and a general feeling that the reader didn’t grasp the feel of the 1890s in any way—very flat delivery. The more theatrical reading by Barbara Caruso for Recorded Books is here on Scribd— it’s 1000% better, in my view.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Always a Beautiful story and worth reading again and again.
