I love this book oh it is so delicious

estoy muy invested en esta historia no me lo esperaba

an absolute delight to read thus far; love wharton's way of formatting sequences of events, extrapolations of the pivotal moments within them, rather than fill the book with bloat. how she goes around humanising Undine or Ralph, but for the other characters as well. commentary wise, it's through the characters thoughts or acts that are it, rather than a tacky one

reading this slowly reminds me of my experience with Austen's works, but nonetheless excited to see where this goes!
