Sanctuary (Penny Books) (Kindle Edition)
From Library Journal
Originally published by Scribners in 1903, this is the story of Kate Orme, who marries a man of weak moral character. When they have a child, she fears that the sins of the father will be the sins of their son. Kate dedicates herself to instilling morality in the boy as he grows, especially after her husband dies. This is a typical Wharton examination of upper-crust society strewn with flaws. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
Review
“It is good, ethically and artistically, to read and read again a book with such a lift.”—New York Times”A striking little book, striking in its simplicity and penetration, its passion and restraint.”—Times Literary Supplement
