I have the same question as David. Have you read The Buccaneers, LPA? Wharton already wrote Downton Abbey back in the thirties.
La Petite Américaine wrote: "It's the one book by Wharton that I haven't read."It's really good, even the version that was completed by someone else, since Wharton wasn't able to.
La Petite Américaine wrote: "As soon as I recover from the Jane Austen post traumatic stress I will check out Buccaneers."Fair enough. I know how scary Ms. Austen can be.
OMG -- I just finished this book and it is like porn for anglophiles. Totally loved it! Thanks for telling me about it!!!!
I haven't finished it yet but am loving it, too. :)Did you ser that Edith Wharton's letters to her governess are going to be published in a book very soon?
No! I didn't know about the new Edith Wharton book. I will definitely plan to read it too. I loved the Buccaneers and her others as well. I also really liked Portrait of a Lady. I should probably look into some sort of 12-step program for people who are way too obsessed with this topic, but hey -- I don't have a problem. I can stop whenever I want to (I just don't want to) :-)
Or what about the missing/uncovered missing manuscript by Wharton about father/daughter incest?? Omg.
The New Yorker article from April 2001 is worth a read, but you have to pay for it. This one provides a good summary. http://m.theatlantic.com/entertainmen...Heehee. Naughty, naughty, Edith. :)
