The Reef

A diplomat, delayed in Paris by a letter putting him off, spends a few days with a girl he meets by chance — and months later finds her installed in the French château where he has come to marry the widow he has loved for years. Wharton wrote this in 1912 in the middle of her own affair and her divorce; James called it her finest book. Nothing is confessed and everything is understood, which is worse.
