Modern Syrian Short Stories Book

Edith Wharton wrote with ease of New York's high society, of which she was a part, but she could also portray the struggles of the lower classes with effect. The Bunner Sisters is the story of two sisters barely making ends meet in a small shop in their neighborhood. But they are happy with their companionship and their routine. Things change forever, and for the worse, when they meet a local clockmaker. Wharton reminds us that when you make poor choices, the results can be devastating, regardless of your status in society.
