by Edith Wharton

This collection of short stories explores the moral dilemmas and psychological struggles of upper-class American society in the early 20th century. While some of the stories delve into the realm of the supernatural, most focus on the complex relationships and social conventions that govern the lives of the characters. Wharton's keen eye for detail and insightful commentary on human nature make this collection a timeless classic.
