Read in one sitting. Wharton's writing and story-telling is superb here. Had me so deeply buried in the story that I was taken aback when the picture outside my window was one of green grass and swaying trees instead of the white frigid stillness of winter. Don't pass this one up just because it is most commonly seen on an English Lit class's syllabus. Great.
