Happily engaged to the pretty and conventional Mary Welland, his attachment guarantees his place in this rigid world of the elite. However, the arrival of Mary's cousin, the exotic and beautiful European Countess Olenska throws Newland's life upside down. Comedic, subtle and cynical in style, Wharton paints an evocative picture of a man torn between his passion and his obligation. |
