   Works such as The House of Mirth, Ethan Frome, Summer and The Age of Innocence equal the psychological insight and stylistic accomplishments of her contemporary Henry James.

   “Ah, good conversation - there’s nothing like it, is there? The air of ideas is the only air worth breathing.” ― Edith Wharton, The Age of Innocence
