ABOUT BOOK

Something more than an entertaining novel to enchant the summer days: it is a human document. Not a detail is lacking in the mise-en-scene. And in a series of chapters which might be fairly called acts of the drama, is presented a vivid, graphic transcription of one phase of contemporary life. The entire ensemble is a perfect mosaic, each piece of which fits into the scheme, and of which the relative values are held with that fine touch which characterizes Edith Wharton.
