The Custom of the Country

Edith Wharton, 1913

Date read: 4/12/24

I really enjoyed this one. I liked her other novel I read, The House of Mirth, too. I will read her other novels after I finish the List.

Essentially this is another of those novels about an awful person. Undine is awful by being unsatisfiable. Nothing is ever enough. Actually reminds me of my younger child lol

I like Wharton's writing style and that she very clearly is basing her characters on people she knew. They're well rounded, full characters, not one dimensional charactatures.

Length: 391 pages in hardcover

Classic: yes
