- Review: It was grueling to read this novella. Set in the upper crust of society in New York in the late 1800s, two cousins end up in a convoluted relationship. Secrets and sacrifices create emotional suffering which is described exquisitely by the author. Once again Wharton's wonderful writing illuminates the status of women socially and psychologically. Poignant and moving, this is now a favorite of mine.
