Book Review: "The Custom of the Country" by Edith Wharton - 1913

Great book, but Wharton's books always are.  Undine is quite a character.  She has almost no redeeming features, but she is still somewhat likeable.  She is shallow and greedy and just wants to move up the social ladder and spend money.  She is a terrible mother and wife, yet she could still find new husbands.  I really felt sorry for the husbands--and Undine's parents. 

Totally entertaining--even the second time I read it.
