Hudson River Bracketed

By Edith Wharton

A brilliant, complex tale of love, life, and art in the 1920s.
 
Two artistic souls, Vance and Halo, are drawn into unhappy marriages. Vance lives the impoverished life of a struggling novelist, while Halo marries for money to ensure her parents’ security. Through their common love of literature, the two find the happiness and love lacking in their marriages. But can they overcome the obstacles keeping them apart? Edith Wharton, never one to fall into sentimentality, will not let their happiness come easy.

Edith Wharton

Edith Wharton (1862–1937) was an American novelist—the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for her novel The Age of Innocence in 1921—as well as a short story writer, playwright, designer, reporter, and poet. Her other works include Ethan Frome, The House of Mirth, and Roman Fever and Other Stories. Born into one of New York’s elite families, she drew upon her knowledge of upper-class aristocracy to realistically portray the lives and morals of the Gilded Age.
