I love Wharton’s writing, too, and wrote about it at length when I was the book editor of The Plain Dealer. But I still learned from and enjoyed this biography, though I have reservations about parts of it. Thanks for your comment.

I love Wharton’s writing. Aimed at 12-year-olds does bring into question the necessity of discussing her sex life. Sure, teens are a little hipper now than when I was that age so maybe it won’t shock them as it would have done me, but is that really what they’re going to want to read about, if they’re the type to pick up a book like this?
