Book Review of The Custom of the Country

The Custom of the Country
reviewed on + 10 more book reviews


If I had 3 wishes, one would be to bring back Edith Wharton so that she could keep writing novels for me to read for the rest of my life.
The Custom of the Country was terrific, tragi-comic. It portrays a protagonist/antagonist that you love to hate. Beautiful Undine leaves a trail of heartbreak and destruction in her wake, and is totally oblivious to what she does.
Read it if you get the chance!
