Sanctuary
Overview
""The Sanctuary"" is a novel written by Edith Wharton. The story is set in the early 20th century and revolves around the life of a young woman named Kate Orme. Kate is a widow who is struggling to find meaning in her life after the death of her husband. She becomes involved with a man named Denis Peyton, who is a well-known artist. As their relationship progresses, Kate discovers that Denis has a dark secret that threatens to destroy their relationship. The novel explores themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning in life. It also delves into the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of our actions. Wharton's writing is known for its vivid descriptions of the social and cultural norms of the time, as well as its exploration of the human psyche. ""The Sanctuary"" is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that will leave readers thinking long after they have finished reading it.It was to serve, on this occasion, as the scene of a tea designed, as Kate Peyton was vividly aware, to introduce a certain young lady to the scene of her son's labours. Mrs. Peyton had been hearing a great deal lately about Clemence Verney. Dick was naturally expansive, and his close intimacy with his mother--an intimacy fostered by his father's early death--if it had suffered some natural impairment in his school and college days, had of late been revived by four years of comradeship in Paris, where Mrs. Peyton, in a tiny apartment of the Rue de Varennes, had kept house for him during his course of studies at the Beaux Arts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
