description: Creating a firestorm of controversy in 1917, here is one of the first novels to deal honestly with a woman's sexual awakening. Wharton -- the author of "Ethan Frome" -- completely shattered the standards of conventional love stories with candor and realism. Nearly a century later, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author's personal favorite remains fresh and relevant.
