La sottile variazione di Edith Wharton sul tema dell'eterno triangolo vede come protagonisti Anna Leath, una ricca vedova americana che vive in Francia; la deliziosa governante di sua figlia, Sophy Viner; e il primo amore della giovinezza di Anna, George Darrow, che è tornato nella sua vita. Sperando di riunirsi a George, Anna scopre che il cammino dell'amore non è liscio. THE REEF apparve per la prima volta nel 1912, quando Edith Wharton aveva appena cinquant'anni ed era all'apice del suo talento come scrittrice. È un romanzo splendidamente scritto, molto caratteristico e molto leggibile, scritto da una scrittrice la cui popolarità aumenta di anno in anno.

Edith Wharton was born in New York City on January 24, 1862. Edith married Teddy Wharton, who was 12 years older. They lived a life of relative ease with homes in New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. Edith became a prolific writer and produced over 40 books in 40 years.
Edith divorced Teddy in 1912, having no immediate heirs, and never married again. She was the first woman awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, an honorary Doctorate of Letters from Yale University, and a full membership in the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Her novels became so popular that Ms. Wharton was able to live comfortably on her earnings the rest of her life. Edith continued to write until a stroke took her life in August 1937.
