As she unfolds the story of Undine Spragg, from New York to Europe, Wharton affords us a detailed glimpse of what might be called the interior d?cor of this America and its nouveau riche fringes. Through a heroine who is as vain, spoiled, and selfish as she is irresistibly fascinating, and through a most intricate and satisfying plot that follows Undine's marriages and affairs, she conveys a vision of social behavior that is both supremely informed and supremely disenchanted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edith Wharton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.43h x 5.12w x 1.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143137214","brand":"Penguin Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42707018875017,"sku":"9780143137214","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_aa56e33f-14eb-48c4-8df7-a7a4af2a10a4.jpg?v=1719474830","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-custom-of-the-country-penguin-classics-deluxe-edition-9780143137214","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
