The Mother's Recompense
The Mother's Recompense
By Edith Wharton

Why are her books always so horribly sad? And why do I love them anyway? Every step, my heart ached for her to tell someone, anyone the truth. It's not fair that she is exiled, even of her own making, while he is not. But that was and still is the way of the world, unfortunately. I think I felt most for Fred, his hoping for a happy ending, never knowing he's in an Edith Wharton novel and thus has no chance of one.
9/10
