Fast and Loose: And the Buccaneers

By Edith Wharton

Book Overview

With an Edith Wharton revival well under way, Fast and Loose, a romantic first novel begun when Wharton was fourteen and The Buccaneers, left unfinished when she died at seventy-five, are now back in print and available for the first time in one edition. The rich parallels seen when the two novels are presented together, along with Viola Hopkins Winner's critical Introduction, make this volume far greated than the sum of its parts.

The Buccaneers

I read this book and also saw the TV movie a few years ago. I enjoyed the book very much. Very well written and I liked the ending as I couldn't see Annabelle with the stiff Duke. She belonged with Guy and they made a very adorable couple. In the movie , they changed some aspects of the book but it was still great. I recommend this book very much and the author who took over the ending due to the death of Edith Wharton did a commendable job. Well done.
