The Custom Of The Country

The more things change, the more they stay the same...

Though set in New York during the early 1900s, Edith Wharton's classic tale of Undine Spragg, a Midwestern girl just desperate to fall into the high ranks of the city's society, is one for the ages. Proof that finding a husband in Manhattan has always been too complicated.

Oh, and did we mention that Sofia Coppola's currently developing a series based off of it?

Prepare yourself to be one of those annoying people who can speak at length as to why they prefer the book far more.
