Today is Edith’s birthday. I read Age of Innocence a couple of months ago and wrote about it here on my blog. I remember reading Ethan Frome a long time ago, but I don’t remember much about it. The plot involved some kind of sledding accident, I believe. Anyway, I think Eidth Wharton is interesting, somewhat disturbing and subversive. Right now I’m reading The King’s Cavalier by Samuel Shellabarger. Prince of Foxes (by the same author) is a fun historical fiction book set in Renaissance Italy. I think I’m going to enjoy this one, too, set in France in the 1500’s.
