Wharton is one of my favorite authors. I enjoyed The Custom of the Country and House of Mirth, as well as The Children and Ethan Frome. I wouldn't recommend The Buccaneers, which was her last unpublished novel. A Wharton scholar completed the work and it was published in 1933. Disappointing, to say the least. Another wonderful "classic" author is Willa Cather. My Antonia is very well-known, but I loved Death Comes For the Archbishop, as well as O' Pioneers! Song of the Lark was just ok. .-= Les in NE´s last blog ..<a href="http://lesleysbooknook.blogspot.com/2009/09/mailbox-monday_21.html" rel="nofollow">Mailbox Monday</a> =-.

Then there is this build of emotion and tense restraint that it feels like it's dripping from the walls.
