Edith Wharton was a novelist of manners of late 19th Century New York "Society", who spent much of her life in France. In this novel she tells the story of Undine Sprague, the thrice- (or more) married, upwardly mobile beauty from "Apex City", transplanted to New York, and finally to France, leaving the dead and wounded in the wake of her "experiments in happiness".

Reviews
The Custom of the Country
hmd
Most readers are good and some are excellent. I particularly enjoyed the reader of the last chapter who made Undine sound like a loathsome shrew. Beware chapter 9 read by Deidre. With her wildly changing and affected accents, all of them inappropriate and ludicrous, it was torture getting through this chapter.
some readers very hard to understand couldn't finish it.
