About this audiobook
Edith Wharton
Edith Wharton (1862–1937) was an American novelist—the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for her novel The Age of Innocence in 1921—as well as a short story writer, playwright, designer, reporter, and poet. Her other works include Ethan Frome, The House of Mirth, and Roman Fever and Other Stories. Born into one of New York’s elite families, she drew upon her knowledge of upper-class aristocracy to realistically portray the lives and morals of the Gilded Age.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Always a Beautiful story and worth reading again and again.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's a classic, which I had never read before, and it was beautiful, moving, and surprisingly relevant. Highly recommend it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Compelling story beautifully narrated. Excellent through and through. I loved it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The book is fantastic— but I couldn’t endure the reader after half an hour of mispronounced foreign words, the word “a” regularly pronounced like the letter A, and a general feeling that the reader didn’t grasp the feel of the 1890s in any way—very flat delivery. The more theatrical reading by Barbara Caruso for Recorded Books is here on Scribd— it’s 1000% better, in my view.
