Given the time the book was written in, I think it was pushing forward themes like equality that were not common. I liked the book and especially Nan who ressembles a more modern heroine. The plot was a bit too long at times, but it corresponds with the genre. Themes of duty, honour, social rank, and romance.

I read this as part of the Pop Sugar reading challenge for the category "A book recommended by a family member."
4.5 stars.
I really enjoyed most of this book, but it was very evident where Wharton left off. The writing wasn't nearly as elegant at the end.

i decided to read this book because i loved the apple tv show that was created based on it, but i quickly learned that the tv show is very loosely based on the characters haha. nonetheless i really did enjoy this book and story. however i’m giving 3.5 stars because it took me a very long time to get through it but i’m glad i did :)
