Souls Belated is a novella written by the renowned American author Edith Wharton. The story revolves around two characters, Lydia and Gannett, who are both in their thirties and have been living separate lives for many years. Lydia is a successful and independent woman who has been living in Paris for the past few years, while Gannett is a journalist who has been living in Boston. The two had met and fallen in love years ago, but their relationship had ended due to Lydia's marriage to another man.When Lydia returns to America, she unexpectedly meets Gannett again and they rekindle their romance. However, their newfound love is complicated by the fact that Lydia is still married and her husband is a jealous and possessive man. As their relationship deepens, they struggle with the moral implications of their affair and the consequences it could have on their lives.The novella explores themes of love, morality, and societal expectations. Wharton's writing is known for its nuanced characterizations and exploration of the complexities of human relationships. Souls Belated is a poignant and thought-provoking read that delves into the intricacies of love and the choices we make in our lives.She stayed there for a long time, in the hypnotized contemplation, not of Mrs. Cope's present, but of her own past. Gannett, early that morning, had gone off on a long walk--he had fallen into the habit of taking these mountain tramps with various fellow lodgers; but even had he been within reach she could not have gone to him just then. She had to deal with herself first. She was surprised to find how, in the last months, she had lost the habit of introspection. Since their coming to the Hotel Bellosguardo she and Gannett had tacitly avoided themselves and each other.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
