The Recovery is a novel written by Edith Wharton. The story is set in the early 20th century and follows the life of a young woman named Lydia Orr, who is recovering from a nervous breakdown. Lydia is a wealthy socialite who has always lived a privileged life, but her breakdown has left her feeling lost and disconnected from the world around her.As Lydia tries to regain her strength and find her place in society, she meets a number of interesting characters, including a doctor who helps her through her recovery, a wealthy businessman who is interested in her, and a group of artists who introduce her to a new way of life.Throughout the novel, Wharton explores themes of mental health, social status, and the role of women in society. She also delves into the complexities of human relationships and the challenges that come with trying to find one's place in the world.Overall, The Recovery is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a unique perspective on life in the early 20th century. Wharton's writing is insightful and beautifully crafted, making this book a must-read for fans of classic literature.They moved about from room to room without exchanging a word. The vast noiseless space seemed full of sound, like the roar of a distant multitude heard only by the inner ear. Had their speech been articulate their language would have been incomprehensible; and even that far-off murmur of meaning pressed intolerably on Claudia's throbbing nerves. Keniston took the onset without outward sign of disturbance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
