About this book
Lizzie Hazeldean's story "New Year's Day" is one of four new novels of old New York from the pen of the distinguished author of "The Age of Innocence" and "The House of Mirth."

No one else can depict so faithfully the social life of the latter half of the nineteenth century; no one can write more movingly of the romance and tragedy of human life. And the richest charm of Edith Wharton is in this striking series.The 'Forties FALSE DAWN Mr. Ralston Raycie looks to his son Lewis to carry on the proud traditions of the family. But Lewis acquires in Europe tastes and opinions that the 'Forties can neither understand nor tolerate.
