The Custom of the Country

The Custom of the Country is one of Edith Wharton’s lasting novels, and the character of Udine Spragg has been compared to other famous anti-heroines, including Gone with the Wind’s Scarlett O’Hara and Vanity Fair’s Becky Sharp. Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes has also cited The Custom of the Country as an inspiration for his work.
