Edith Wharton Quote
Вместо возможной зависимости, вынужденного возврата к прежней жизни, состоящей из компромиссов и уступок, она увидела перед собой — когда решит выбрать их — свободу, силу и достоинство. ...которое в таком мире, как их мир, могут обеспечить лишь богатство и положение в обществе. (Сюзи Бранч)

Her other well-known works are The House of Mirth, the novella Ethan Frome, and several notable ghost stories.
