A Backward Glance
by Edith Wharton
Edith Wharton, the first woman to be a Pulitzer Prize-winning woman, vividly reflects her public and private life in this stunning memoir. With wealth and sophistication, it recounts the sophisticated New York society in which Wharton spent his youth, and describes his travels in Europe and his literary success as an adult. His friendships with many of the most famous artists and writers of his time, including his close friend Henry James, are beautifully depicted.
