About this audiobook
Our heroine Kate is madly in love with her fiancé. She is planning their wedding and future life together... Unfortunately, she discovers a secret that he has that will forever change what she thinks of him. With this new insight, she is toils with her desire to be morally accountable; and for him to "do the right thing"... Much later in life; she finds herself in a very similar situation, only this time with her own son... A gripping and fascinating novella about the so called Gilded Age, by one of the true masters of the genre!
Edith Wharton
Edith Wharton (1862–1937) was an American novelist—the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for her novel The Age of Innocence in 1921—as well as a short story writer, playwright, designer, reporter, and poet. Her other works include Ethan Frome, The House of Mirth, and Roman Fever and Other Stories. Born into one of New York’s elite families, she drew upon her knowledge of upper-class aristocracy to realistically portray the lives and morals of the Gilded Age.
