![]() ![]() Wharton’s fourth novel, Ethan Frome was published in 1911, and despite being described by American literary critic Lionel Trilling as a book lacking in moral or ethical significance, it remains one of Wharton’s most popular. It was a bittersweet day for me, and one that was to later bring around a life-changing decision to move down under, to begin a new life in Sydney. While I don’t remember how I acquired Ethan From, I distinctly remember where I was when I read it, on the last day of my Australian holiday at Watson’s Bay, one of my favourite spots in Sydney. More often than not, I remember where I buy books from, or when and from whom I receive them. And while usually when I find an author I like, I read as many of their books as I can get my hands on in as short a time as possible, I find myself five years later only just getting around to a second of her books. I first came across Edith Wharton at university indeed reading and studying The Age of Innocence immediately cemented it as one of my favourite books. ![]() ![]() ![]() Psychologically intricate and astute, dark and unflinching, Real World is a searing, eye-opening portrait of teenage life in Japan unlike any we have seen before.
