Sommario/riassunto

In novels like The Age of Innocence and The House of Mirth, Edith Wharton demonstrated a remarkable talent for exposing the dark underbelly of American high society. In Sanctuary, the tale of doomed marriage propped up by the protagonist''s altruism, Wharton further explores the question of whether it is our nature or our upbringing that determines one''s character and moral fiber.
