Years later, on the eve of the girl's wedding, \"Aunt\" Charlotte's long-suppressed anguish surfaces.Edith Wharton was a master of the novella form, and this tale of a mother's tragic sacrifice is one of her greatest contributions to the genre. It provides a fine example of her keen eye for observing and articulating the telling details of class and society. Available at last in a stand-alone edition, this enduringly popular story first appeared serialized in The Red Book Magazine in 1922 and later in an anthology. The basis for a successful Broadway show of the 1930s, it was later adapted into a popular film starring Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51936027279648,"sku":"NEW0486476855","price":13.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-old-maid-0486476855","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
