The Reef by Edith Wharton

"The Reef" by Edith Wharton is a novel published in 1912. American diplomat George Darrow reconnects with his former love, the widowed Anna Leath, hoping to resume their romance. But when a brief affair with young Sophy Viner complicates matters—especially after Sophy becomes governess to Anna's daughter and engaged to Anna's stepson—hidden passions and jealousies threaten everyone's future. Set in Paris and rural France, this tale explores the destructive power of secrets and desire. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
