Synopsis: In Nice, at the beginning of the 20th century, Kate Clephane struggles for her social survival. From New York high society, she now lives among outcasts: all those who, like her, have failed in the eyes of high society. As a young bride and young mother, Kate had an affair with an artist and, rejected by everyone, fled New York for France. But, almost twenty years after her departure, her daughter Anne writes to her: Kate's husband has died and the daughter wants to find her mother. Back in America, Kate builds an idyllic home with Anne, which only a man could disrupt...

In this 1925 novel, Edith Wharton returns to a theme dear to her: the tension between an individual's desires and the weight of social conventions. As in The Age of Innocence and Ethan Frome, she portrays characters in a constant struggle to find a place in a world that should be theirs. The Mother's Recompense is one of these gilded tragedies.
