Set in New York City, this classic novel follows the Spraggs, a wealthy Midwestern family, as they navigate high-society social circles in their quest to marry off their daughter, Undine. Despite her beauty, Undine struggles to fit into the old-money world, and her marriage to Ralph Marvell leads to a life of extravagance and upheaval. Renowned for inspiring Downton Abbey, the story offers a sharp critique of ambition through the journey of one of literature's most ruthless heroines.
