Wharton hit the road with her good friend Henry James, and returned with this 1908 memoir of a trip that spanned the country she would adopt as her home. Largely a tour of the nation’s architecture, the author also relates her pilgrimage to the home of George Sand, perhaps her spiritual mentor.

About the Author

Edith Wharton (1862–1937) won the Pulitzer Prize for The Age of Innocence, making her the first female recipient of the award. Wharton was born into a life of wealth and privilege in the upper echelons of New York society. Her knowledge of this “old money” world formed the backdrop of her best-known novels, The House of Mirth (1905), The Custom of the Country (1913), and The Age of Innocence (1920). Wharton lived out her final years in Europe.
