THE MOTHER'S RECOMPENSE

Completed in 1925 (Wharton died in 1937), The Mother's Recompense is said by Louis Auchincloss, in his Introduction to this edition, to be ""really the last of her major fictions,"" free of the flaws that marred this important author's subsequent and more disillusioned work. Reissued now after three decades out of print.
