Edith Wharton's The Custom of the Country is a riveting novel that explores the life of Undine Spragg, a captivating and ambitious social climber in early 20th-century New York City. Wharton's impeccable prose and keen observations of high society bring to life the complexities of marriage, gender roles, and wealth in a rapidly changing world. The book is a classic example of American realism, showcasing Wharton's ability to dissect human behavior with precision and depth. Edith Wharton, a prominent American author known for her insightful portrayals of the upper echelons of society, drew inspiration from her own experiences navigating the social hierarchy.

I highly recommend The Custom of the Country to anyone interested in exploring the intricate dynamics of class and privilege, as well as those who appreciate beautifully crafted prose and thought-provoking storytelling.
