About this product

Product Information

First published in 1913, Edith Wharton's The Custom of the Country is a scathing novel of ambition featuring one of the most ruthless heroines in literature. Undine Spragg is as unscrupulous as she is magnetically beautiful. Her rise to the top of New York's high society from the nouveau riche provides a provocative commentary on the upwardly mobile and the aspirations that eventually cause their ruin. One of Wharton's most acclaimed works, The Custom of the Country is a stunning indictment of materialism and misplaced values that is as powerful today for its astute observations about greed and power as when it was written nearly a century ago.

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.

    Surprisingly Compelling and Enjoyable

    I am always surprised by the readability of novels written in the early part of the 20th century. The language is somewhat estoteric at times, but that does not seem to matter. The story is compelling and Wharton really knew how to turn a phrase. I was also impressed with her dead-on choices, in terms of when to skip certain periods of time, moving the story along. She also happily refrained from describing in detail some of the most painful (and potentially drawn out) episodes, leaving them to the reader's imagination - much more effective, and, in my opinion, an excellent writing device that more novelists should make use of. I read the book because of my book club and expected to have trouble with it, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
