Rent The Reef (Oxford World's Classics)

Synopsis

emThe Reef/em (1912) is one of Edith Wharton's finest and most compelling novels, admired greatly by Henry James. A minutely rendered anatomy of social ambiguity, focused on the intricately interdependent lives of three American expatriates in France, emThe Reef/em is also an obliquely autobiographical work which reveals Wharton's ambivalent sense of both her newly adopted country, and her unexpectedly awakened sexuality. emThe Reef/em is a brilliant and compelling work, both as a neglected and genuinely distinguished novel, and as a revealing document in modern sexual history.
