Author: Wharton, Edith
Condition: New
The classic satire of New York society and the American Dream through the misadventures of an insatiable young striverAmbitious 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 Undines quest for power and position-and in her elusive search for happiness.A biting satire from one of Americas 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.
