This history behind this story relates to the society and the experience which Edith Wharton experienced herself. Edith Wharton wrote three storys using the same characters and plot based on true events with some extras thrown in. In the final drwaft Eidth Wharton writes the story as we read it and it is told through the eyes of one of the characters. Edith cleverly hides the other stories behind what appears to be the story, it is only after you read the book the second time that you will see another plot, which you will say to yourself was so obviously there, but when you then see the third story you really appreciate how good this book is. I hated reading, I had to study this book for A Level exams, and now I hail it as the best book Ive read.
