«La Solterona» is the romantic novel by Edith Wharton, published by Mondadori in hardcover (178 pages, in Spanish).
In mid-nineteenth-century New York, Charlotte Lovell hides a secret she reveals to her cousin Delia: she is the mother of a daughter born of a fleeting relationship. The drama between the two, marked by jealousy, sacrifice and appearances, portrays the double moral standard of a puritanical and class-conscious society.
La Solterona is the second installment of Edith Wharton's Old New York series; the work was originally published in 1922. The edition includes a letter by Margarita Rivière.
This large-print edition is designed for readers who prefer comfortable reading or have tired eyes.
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.
