The classic satire of New York society and the American Dream through the misadventures of an insatiable young striver
Ambitious and wholeheartedly materialistic, Undine Spragg is a beautiful heiress who sees men as a means to an end. New York millionaires and French aristocrats fall at her feet, but each conquest is merely a stepping-stone in Undine’s quest for power and position—and in her elusive search for happiness.
A biting satire from one of America’s greatest writers, The Custom of the Country features a compelling and driven antiheroine, a sharp-eyed critique of the marriage market and its objectification of women, and a knowing send-up of Gilded Age snobbery.

Perihal pengarang
Edith Wharton (1862–1937) was born into the upper echelons of New York society. She began writing in 1887, but it was the 1905 publication of her second novel, The House of Mirth, that made her famous. Over the course of her career, Wharton became a bestselling author, worked as a reporter at the French front during World War I (receiving the Cross of the Legion of Honor as a result), and won the Pulitzer Prize.
