The story follows the life of Tina, a young woman caught between the mother who adopted her - the beautiful, upstanding Delia - and her true mother, her plain, unmarried ‘aunt’ Charlotte, who gave Tina up to provide her with a socially acceptable life.

The three women live quietly together until Tina’s wedding day, when Delia’s and Charlotte’s hidden jealousies rush to the surface. Originally serialized in The Red Book magazine in 1922, The Old Maid is an examination of class and society as only Edith Wharton could undertake.

A moving, restrained, balanced little gem. A defining Wharton novelette in which the mores and attendant dilemmas of a long gone era are vividly evoked with a humour and compassion that keeps them timelessly fresh.

full of subtlety and deep feeling. The two protagonists are extraordinary characters, and their dilemma is truly a tragic one. I loved the reading - excellent.
I can’t help feeling this might have made a great 1940s film with Aunt Charlotte being played by Bette Davis !

This is a wonderful story

So moving, exquisite writing and so sensitively narrated. I have discovered Edith Wharton via audible and it’s a revelation!

Stunning

loved the connecting with her now well known title the Age of Innocence in the distant characters of Silliton Jackson and others. For a book written so long ago the story is relevant and heartbreaking. The characters are portrayed with depth and shrewd observation of human complexity. So happy I found this!
