Though only a 16 year old, I found this book to be a remarkable tale of wishing for what is not and trying to hold onto some perfect, but unreachable, love. Wharton's humor is a pleasure as it often peeks through and the satirization of 19th century New York's upper echelon is entertaining as well. I found the philosophy within the book something that one must reach within one's soul to grasp, but wonderful just the same.
