Įdith Wharton (1915) Reception of incomplete novel Įdith Wharton's final novel received positive and negative reactions from critics. Nan eventually falls in love with Guy Thwaite. While these young women were not in the best of situations, with high expectations from the dukes, some fall in love. While some girls live in unhappy marriages, they often take lovers to make their marriages work-or they file for divorce. The young women's fathers' money is very attractive to European aristocrats to maintain their version of wealth: collections of art, property, and other accoutrements of social status. The novel begins with three socially ambitious families looking for the status needed for their daughters to live successful lives, complete with European titles. As the novel progresses, the plot follows Nan and her marriage to the Duke of Trevenick. The story revolves around five wealthy and ambitious American girls, their guardians, and the titled, landed, but impoverished Englishmen who marry them as the girls participate in the London Season. After some time, Marion Mainwaring finished the novel, following Wharton's detailed outline, in 1993. The book was published in 1938 by Penguin Books in New York. Wharton's manuscript ends with Lizzy inviting Nan to a house party, to which Guy Thwaite has also been invited. It was unfinished at the time of her death in 1937 and published in that form in 1938. The story is set in the 1870s, around the time Wharton was a young girl.
