The Letters, and Other Times, Other Manners (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press) by Edith Wharton
kike_ram95's review against another edition
4.0
So since last month I read an Edith Wharton's anthology and I loved it, I really wanted to read more of her work. Thankfully, my University's library has a big collection of her other books, but I choose another anthology since I'm not in the mood for anything too long.
Anyway the stories portrayed here are told in such a delicate way, since we get to learn a lot from the characters intentions in a really short time. Again, Wharton portrays stories were we analyze why people do the things they do and how they shape their personalities and the way they interact with others. We'll get to read about society's expectations of women, marriage and resentment and the way people manipulate others to achieve their own goals.
