"Custom of the Country," a novel by Edith Wharton, not John McRae, follows the ambitious and socially aspirant Undine Spragg, a young woman from a small Midwestern town who seeks to establish herself in New York City's elite society. Undine navigates the complexities of wealth, love, and betrayal as she marries into high society, only to find that her desires for status and admiration often clash with social customs and personal relationships. Through her relentless pursuit of success and validation, Wharton critiques the superficiality of the upper class and explores the costs of ambition and the struggle for identity.
