"Aunt" Charlotte gave up her daughter to allow the child an advantageous position in New York City's fashionable society of the mid-1800s. Years later, on the eve of the girl's wedding, Charlotte's suppressed anguish surfaces. Wharton's keen eye for observing and articulating telling details of class and social mores elevates the soap-opera scenario of a mother's sacrifice into a memorable and compelling drama.
Includes an original Introduction by Roxana Robinson, author of Cost.
