The Bunner Sisters, Ann Eliza and Evelina, are the protagonists of this moving novel by Edith Wharton. They run a modest haberdashery in a humble neighborhood of New York. One day, Ann Eliza gives her sister a watch for her birthday, an object that will trigger a series of events that will shake the foundations of their lives. Written in 1892 and published in 1916, this work stands out for its ability to develop the plot and describe the environment and motivations of the characters.
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.
