" Complete mastery. I've read this book several times, and recently, feeling the need to read a perfect novel, I picked it up again. Everything about it is perfect: the characters, the intricacy of the plot, the style, the insights. This time, I was so distraught at the ending, just devastated -- perhaps the older you get, the more Wharton destroys you. "
