A couple of months ago, I spent a whopping £0.72 to purchase the “Works of Edith Wharton (31 Books)” for my Kindle. I have since read 20 of them, making this e-book the best value for money of all I’ve purchased thus far - barring all the free ones, of course. Two of the books - The Age of Innocence and The House of Mirth - were re-reads. I’ve done a little overview of the titles I completed below the cut for those who may be interested. I bolded the ones I enjoyed, italicized the ones I found tedious or forgettable and underlined the ones about which I have complex feelings. Summaries of varying lengths are provided for each work.

I feel I should state here that I'm not any sort of literary expert. I read purely for pleasure (and because I spend nearly four hours commuting daily), so my reactions to the books are informed solely by the amount of enjoyment I got out of them.

I hope this convinces at least a few of you to give Wharton a whirl, and an idea of where you might like to start. Her mastery of both short and long form storytelling gives readers plenty of options. If anyone would like to recommend that I should favour one of the unread books over the other, please do!
