The Custom of the Country (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781952154041)

Considered by many to be her greatest novel, Edith Wharton's The Custom of the Country tells the story of Undine Spragg, a vain and spoiled young woman determined to climb the social ladder of high society. Undine's unquenchable lust for wealth takes her from New York to Europe as she manipulates the men who have what she desires. Wharton's great talents are on full display in this scathing social commentary on the modern upper class, and Undine Spragg is one of the greatest literary anti-heroines of all time.

The Custom of the Country is a selection of the New York Times Style Magazine Book Club and an adaptation is planned for Apple TV+ to be directed by Sofia Coppola.
