The Reckoning is a novel written by Edith Wharton, an American author known for her works on social class, gender roles, and the complexities of human relationships. The story is set in the early 1900s and follows the life of a young woman named Kate Clephane, who is engaged to marry a wealthy and respected businessman named John Sargent. However, Kate's life takes a dramatic turn when she discovers that John has been unfaithful to her. As Kate struggles with her emotions and tries to come to terms with John's betrayal, she begins to question the society in which she lives and the expectations placed upon women. She also starts to see the flaws in her own character and the mistakes she has made in her life. As the story unfolds, Kate is forced to make some difficult decisions that will have far-reaching consequences for herself and those around her. The Reckoning is a powerful exploration of human nature, morality, and the consequences of our actions. It is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that will resonate with readers long after they have finished reading it.There had been no scandal connected with the divorce: neither side had accused the other of the offence euphemistically described as statutory. The Arments had indeed been obliged to transfer their allegiance to a State which recognized desertion as a cause for divorce, and construed the term so liberally that the seeds of desertion were shown to exist in every union.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
