Mr. Skeffington by Elizabeth
A witty, sharply observant novel that follows a famously beautiful, self-absorbed woman whose looks and charm steer her social life and marriages until war, illness, and the loss of her beauty force her to reckon with the consequences of vanity; through satirical portraiture of society and quietly tender human encounters she confronts loyalty, remorse, and the possibility of moral change.
