This compelling novel delves into the complexities of labor reform, morality, and personal relationships. It follows the story of John Amherst, a reform-minded assistant manager in a textile mill, and Justine Brent, a compassionate nurse. Together, they confront issues of industrial reform, euthanasia, and the conflicts between idealism and practicality. Edith Wharton's keen social commentary and exploration of ethical dilemmas create a richly layered narrative about the challenges of moral responsibility.
EDITH WHARTON (1862-1937) was one of the most remarkable women of her time, and her immense commercial and critical success--most notably with her novel The Age of Innocense (1920), which won a Pulitzer Prize. Her other novels, including The Fruit of the Tree, remain fascinating portraits of an earlier time.
