I didn't find her wordy, or repetative as some books can be. I really want to read age of innocence, it's on my "to read" list.

Edit: Ha. I just noticed the date on the original post. Oh well. If anyone else out there is interested, I've heard rave reviews of The House of Mirth.

That could be why I didn't enjoy Age of Innocence. I had to read it for English my senior year of high school, and since my tastes run to genre fiction more, I had a lot of trouble getting into it (though I could very well see how it's classic literature and why my teacher assigned it). Maybe I'll revisit her work someday and see if I enjoy it any more now that I've gotten a bit older.Sveta wrote:I think she's an author one needs to read a few times to understand her stories.

She's a great writer and as far as I read her books, her writing is also very compelling.
