What Members Thought

Michael Finocchiaro

Edith Wharton won the 3rd Pulitzer prize (and is thus the first woman winner) for this wonderful story of life in post-Civil War New York City, during the Golden Age. We are in the middle of a love triangle in which Newland is trying to decide between boring propriety with his fiancé/bride May or torrid adventure with the Comtess Olinsky. Sometimes the melodrama was distracting from the more interesting descriptions of this old pre-industrial New York which I really appreciated.
