«La solterona» is the novel by Edith Wharton, published by Impedimenta in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
In 1850, in New York, Delia Ralston is preparing for the wedding of her cousin Charlotte Lovell. When Charlotte confides a secret to her, their fates become intertwined and the moral codes of the upper bourgeoisie begin to waver. Wharton portrays the limited options of women of her class, trapped between social appearance and their affections.
«La solterona» is the second installment of Edith Wharton's «Old New York» series, originally published in 1922, translated by María Ángeles González-Cotta.
A read for those who enjoy classic fiction and period novels that portray the customs and limits of bourgeois society.
Edith Newbold Wharton was an American writer and designer. Wharton drew upon her insider's knowledge of upper-class New York society to portray, realistically, the lives and morals of the Gilded Age. In 1921, she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her novel The Age of Innocence. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1996. Her other well-known works are The House of Mirth, the novella Ethan Frome, and several notable ghost stories.
