Summary "The Choice" by Edith Wharton is a novel written during the early 20th century. The book explores complex themes of love, sacrifice, and moral dilemmas, focusing on the struggles of its characters within the societal constraints of their time. Wharton's narrative offers a poignant examination of personal choices and relational dynamics, set against a backdrop of wealth and privilege. The story revolves around Isabel Stilling, caught in a tumultuous marriage with her husband Cobham, who recklessly gambles away both their fortunes and his mother's savings. Complicating matters further, Isabel's relationship with Austin Wrayford grows deeper, leading her to confront the emotional turmoil of her situation. As tensions rise, a fateful night unfolds near a lake, culminating in a tragic accident that forces Isabel to reckon with her choices. The novel poignantly captures the weight of unspoken desires and the sacrifices one must make in the name of love and loyalty, ultimately leading to a heartbreaking conclusion.
