About this listen

Pulitzer Prize Winner, The Novel, 1921

Newland Archer is about to announce his engagement to the docile May Welland when he meets her cousin, the mysterious, nonconformist Countess Ellen Olenska. Edith Wharton's elegant portrait of desire and betrayal in Old New York earned her the first Pulitzer Prize for literature ever awarded to a woman.

Any additional comments?

I originally bought this book some years ago narrated by david horovitch and have just got round to listening to it. it was awful, spoken very slow with gaps between sentences. I gave up and then found this version which I liked.
the three main characters are newland archer, may welland and countess olanski and in their own way are all self absorbed.
I gave it 4 stars because I finished it.

american classic narrated by an american.
