I've had this Library of America edition on my bookshelf forever and never even opened it. No, I'm not reading four novels. Just The Custom of the Country, number 3 of 4.

Within 150 pp of the end of THE CUSTOM OF THE COUNTRY. Finally, I'm taking some cheer in the possibility of a character's comeuppance. I mean, if there's any justice in the world (and there seldom is).

I'm about halfway through The Custom of the Country, soldiering on despite a character who is really difficult to abide. I know, I know. That's no reason to fault a book. Still, human nature is human nature.

I love, love, love Edith Wharton's works. I hope you enjoy these. (I haven't read "The Custom of the Country" yet. It was one of the two I continued to switch between when we were voting.)

These are great out of her work! Custom of Country is GREAT!
Thanks for the encouragement, Jan and Whit. The first three chapters went down easily, though the book seems to come from a distant land and a distant time.
