Edith Wharthon

I've read a book of Edith Wharthon which is divided in two parts, each part is a fragment of one of her books. Edith Wharton was born on 24 January 1862 in New York, and died in Francia on 11 August 1937. She was a american writer and designer. She wrote around 33 novels and she introduced in her works irony, and the differents types of social classes. The first part of the book is called "Roman Fever" and is about two friends whose husbands dead years ago and they were always together. This two women, two sofisticaded women were situated in a cafeteria in Rome, a place which their love. Suddenly they start to talk about an illness that one of them has, and the other woman said her that it was because years ago she was waiting the man who they will be married to. The second part of the book is calles "the letter" and is situated in Italy. A man who loves donna Candida, a beautiful girl without dad and brother, suffer because she loves other boy who battle for his Italy. The brother of this girl dead in the war and her mother and her don't recived any letter from him. After a few years this man find the letter which never arrived to him family and he gives to donna Candida who burned it. The narrator of this novel is in first person and he's the man that loves donna Candida. I think that it are very good books, with a difficult language to understand but so clearly the novel. Personally I like most "Roman Fever" because of the argument.
