Review of "The mother's recompense" on 'Goodreads'

Another fantastic work by Wharton. It was not quite as emotionally stirring as The Age of Innocence nor as complex as the House of Mirth, but it packed with powerful and perceptive insights into human nature, love, and the weight that past mistakes place upon a person’s mind. As usual, though, Wharton does not provide a straightforward ending to the story that resolves the reader’s many emotions.
