Wow, I'm the only vote for The Custom of the Country in the previous poll? Poor Edith Wharton. That is a *great* book, y'all - what Sister Carrie would have been if Carrie had more than two brain cells to knock together. TBH, I've never figured out why, what with the current fashion for scheming, bored, rich, social-climbing housewives, it hasn't been made into a movie.

To get a taste for Wharton, try her equally free short story Xingu. It's my favorite short ever.
