Synopsis
Wharton called this companion novel to Ethan Frome, "hot Ethan." The heroine, Charity Royall (unlike Ethan Frome), is determined to experience passion and engages in a tempestuous love affair with Lucius Harney, a young man who has drifted into the Berkshires during his college vacation. Eventually, Charity becomes pregnant. The novel reflects the easing of Wharton's stern moral judgements, and is one of the first novels to deal honestly with a young woman's sexual awakening. The author stated of her own work, "I do not remember ever visualizing with more intensity the inner scene, or the creatures peopling it."

Industry Reviews
"Edith Wharton was not a feminist. She has, however, been taken up by feminists who find in her dramas insights about the destructive effect society might have on a woman... The novelist--that is, the good novelist--does not offer solutions, nor does she announce her work as a vehicle of change. But, in delineating the foibles and exposing the tragedies in society, she composes a quiet, subversive song."
Susan Minot
"It is so beautifully and succinctly written and...it captures a social yearning and class consciousness that is part of American Lit that I don't think gets appreciated much."
New York Times - Patricia J. Williams (12/06/1997)
