I loved this book, even though the main character is a total witch. But watching her manipulate her way to the top is fascinating. Kind of like the movie "All About Eve." I wrote my undergrad thesis on this and another Edith Wharton novel and I analyzed how Edith Wharton felt about/portrayed marriage. Needless to say, in this novel, Wharton is a complete skeptic about marriage.
