Synopsis

In "Pixie O'Shaughnessy," George de Horne Mrs. Vaizey crafts a charming narrative that encapsulates the trials and tribulations of a spirited young girl navigating the complexities of life in the late Victorian era. The book is characterized by its vivid descriptions and a light-hearted, yet poignant tone that reflects the author's mastery in balancing humor with social commentary. This novel paints a nostalgic portrait of childhood, exploring themes of friendship, family, and the quest for identity amidst societal expectations, all set against the backdrop of a transforming England. Mrs. Vaizey, a prominent figure in late 19th-century literature, drew upon her own experiences and keen observations of social dynamics, particularly regarding women'Äôs roles and aspirations. Born into a milieu that celebrated both literary pursuits and social engagement, her unique perspective enabled her to create richly developed characters who often mirror her own ideals and struggles. The juxtaposition of her personal history against the societal norms of her time informs much of the warmth and authenticity present in her writing. This delightful tale is highly recommended for readers who appreciate a blend of whimsical narrative and insightful character exploration. "Pixie O'Shaughnessy" not only entertains but also offers a thoughtful reflection on the joys and challenges of youth, making it a timeless read for both young adults and those who cherish the innocence of early life.

    “The House of Mirth” was the breakthrough novel for Edith Wharton and its immediate commercial and critical success put her on the American literary map.   
    Based on Wharton’s own experiences among the elite of the New York City social set in the late 1890’s, “The House of Mirth” is both a fascinating glimpse into the upper-reaches of high society and a searing satire of the cruelties, frivolities and hypocrisy of the city’s ultra-rich.  The story follows the romantic entanglements of twenty-nine year old Lily Bart, a beautiful socialite who has fallen on hard financial times and must secure a rich husband before the clock runs out and she is forever branded a spinster.   
    An immediate success when it was first serialized and published in 1905, “The House of Mirth” launched Wharton’s extraordinary career and remains an American literary classic to this day.  It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
