Edith Wharton’s novel, ‘Twilight Sleep’, is a captivating exploration of the tumultuous lives of the New York elite during the early 20th century. With her characteristic wit and keen observation of societal norms, Wharton delves into the complexities of marriage, family, and social status. The novel is written in a crisp and elegant prose that perfectly captures the privileged yet stifling world of the upper class. Wharton’s sharp dialogue and astute characterizations bring the vibrant society of the era to life, making ‘Twilight Sleep’ a compelling and insightful read within the context of American literary realism. The book’s examination of the façade of perfection maintained by the wealthy and the consequences of societal pressures is as relevant today as it was during Wharton’s time.
