with nothing to lose.
While novelist Edith Wharton writes of grand love affairs, she
has yet to experience her own. Her marriage is more platonic than
passionate and her closest relationship is with her literary
secretary, Anna Bahlmann.
Then Edith meets dashing Morton Fullerton, and her life is at last
opened to the world of the sensual. But, in giving in to the
