En la Nueva York de 1850, Delia Ralston, una figura destacada de la alta burguesía, se prepara para el enlace de su prima Charlotte Lovell, un evento que consolidará la unión entre dos familias influyentes. Sin embargo, la aparente armonía se ve perturbada cuando Charlotte revela un secreto que amenaza con desestabilizar sus vidas y desafiar los códigos éticos que las sustentan. Este secreto une trágicamente a Delia y Charlotte, creando una relación compleja marcada por los celos, la compasión, el amor filial y la desconfianza. Edith Wharton explora las limitaciones impuestas a las mujeres de su época y estatus en una sociedad opresiva, ofreciendo una reflexión profunda sobre sus opciones y destinos.

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.
