As she unfolds the story of Undine Spragg, from New York to Europe, Wharton affords us a detailed glimpse of what might be called the interior décor of this America and its nouveau riche fringes. Through a heroine who is as vain, spoiled, and selfish as she is irresistibly fascinating, and through a most intricate and satisfying plot that follows Undine's marriages and affairs, she conveys a vision of social behavior that is both supremely informed and supremely disenchanted.","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49000245133562,"sku":"9780143137214","price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/3101\/1322\/files\/imageloader_d3524ddd-1b46-40a3-ba93-1d9442a515d9.jpg?v=1781307906","url":"https:\/\/serafinibooks.com\/products\/the-custom-of-the-country-penguin-classics-deluxe-edition","provider":"Serafini Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
