Set against the backdrop of Jazz Age New York, the narrative explores the complexities of a socialite family's relationships through a lens of irony. Wharton's modernist approach features shifting perspectives and a deep dive into the characters' self-identities. Despite its commercial success, the novel faced criticism for its scenarios and characters, yet it has since gained recognition as a significant work of modernist literature, reflecting the era's social dynamics and personal struggles.
