Fast and Loose: A Novelette | Edith Wharton

Hi #Whartonbuddyread

How does a Fast and Loose discussion on Oct 18 sound?

Note: the only easy way to get the book is on amazon through their kindle edition of the collected works of Edith Wharton for $1 (usa - link: https://a.co/d/fdvZX12 )Otherwise it‘s hard to find.

Collected Stories, 1911-1937 | Edith Wharton

Library book found ! Checked it out for the #whartonbuddyread of the Bunner sisters ,got mixed into a stack that I didn‘t get to the bottom of where it shouldn‘t have been anyway as I like to keep Library books separate for just this reason! 😂📚📚🙄

Bookwomble Phew! 😅 2mo

Lcsmcat I‘m glad! I hope your library is like ours and doesn‘t charge fines. 2mo

Leftcoastzen @Lcsmcat they no longer charge fines . And they automatically renew a title a few times unless someone has placed a hold request. 2mo

Bunner Sisters | Edith Wharton

pick

An early Wharton story about a shop run competently by two sisters in lower Manhattan, ~1890. This sisters have their tight bond, and codependency. An eligible bachelor strains all this. It looks at sibling relationships, and also at loneliness, loss, and, quietly, at longing. It's a lovely novella, showcasing Wharton's early natural sense of prose and composition.

Thanks #whartonbuddyread for the company and conversation!
