Immerse yourself in New York high society with Edith Wharton's 'Twilight Sleep'. In this novel, we follow the seemingly perfect life of Pauline and Dexter Manford, a wealthy couple whose existence is filled with visits, meetings, and luxuries. However, beneath the surface of this idyllic life, boredom, emptiness, and dissatisfactions lurk, threatening to destabilize their world. With a critical and penetrating gaze, Wharton addresses themes such as sex, drugs, work, and money, offering a psychological portrait of characters trapped in social conventions and in the search for something more meaningful.
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.
