About this eBook
A classic evisceration of upper-class, urban America, with the style that only Edith Wharton can bring to the task.
Pauline Manford is desperate to fill her time and her life—the wife of a successful lawyer, she wants for nothing but this fulfillment. Using increasingly outlandish means of attaining it, she finally finds her way to a dubious psychoanalyst, and an equally questionable guru. Can Pauline find satisfaction, or will the banality of her life keep her forever unfulfilled?
