The Price of Society

Edith Wharton's three greatest novels of love, longing and the rules that keep people apart.

In The Age of Innocence, which won the Pulitzer Prize, a New York gentleman engaged to the perfect society bride falls for her unconventional cousin. The House of Mirth follows the beautiful Lily Bart as she searches for a wealthy husband in a world that will not forgive her mistakes, and Ethan Frome is a haunting story of forbidden love on a snowbound New England farm.

Elegant, unsparing and deeply moving, these novels made Wharton one of America's finest writers.
