Edith Wharton
Edith Wharton was born in 1862 to a prominent and wealthy New York family. In 1885 she married Boston socialite 'Teddy' Wharton but the marriage was unhappy and they divorced in 1913. The couple travelled frequently to Europe and settled in France, where Wharton stayed until her death in 1937. Her first major novel was The House of Mirth (1905); many short stories, travel books, memoirs and novels followed, including Ethan Frome (1911) and The Reef (1912). She was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature with The Age of Innocence (1920) and she was thrice nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. She was also decorated for her humanitarian work during the First World War.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Did the Anglican-bred Catholic-affiliate lame writer E. Clerihew Bentley name White Gables after White Gates? Well he shouldn’t have kept on and on with his litany of references to American writers whose ghost stories unfold with more veracity than his ridiculous attempt at crime fiction. This Wharton story can’t help but remind today’s readers that we probably do now live in an Ira Levin world.
