Nicely updated edition of a classic. This isn't my favorite Edith Wharton novel, but it was interesting to read it again after many years. Elif Batuman has written a brilliant foreword that manages not to be stuffy or superfluous. This is a great edition of the book to assign to students, pick for a book club, or finally get around to reading for yourself.

Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for a digital ARC for the purpose of an unbiased review.
