A review by jessies
The Buccaneers by Edith Wharton

3.0

I enjoyed this, but it obviously doesn't pack the same emotional punch as Wharton's other works. The ending is too happy for a true Whartonian story. If she had lived to finish the book, I think Nan would have died of an opium overdose while Guy stands over her, wringing his hands at her folly. Mrs. Testvalley still would have died alone and destitute.
