4.0

This was a great introduction to Edith Wharton's writing. It's short, and could easily be read in one or two sessions. It will definitely make you feel like you are trapped in an endless winter, however, so maybe don't bring it with you for your beach vacation. Read it first, and then go to the beach to make you feel better.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Suicide attempt

Moderate: Emotional abuse, Infidelity, Injury/Injury detail, and Medical content

Minor: Racial slurs

There is one use of the g-slur to describe a campfire. Unnecessary, but very much of the time. It is not used in a derogatory way, or even to describe a person.
