kudos to edith wharton......

ok, so mm treated herself to the video for the age of innocence, starring daniel day-lewis and winona rider...and michelle pffieifer (sp).........edith wharton really knew how to construct a tear-jerker..................i walked on the treadmill during the first 30 minutes, then sobbed into the paper towels for the remaining hour.......................such a sad story of unrequited love................of course, this was not edith's best story..................i especially like a short story that has its crescendo in rome........2 former debutantes who lived across the street from each other, escorting their daughters on the grand tour......who discover that the brightest and the most beautiful is actually the 'daughter' of the husband of the most proud of the mothers..........................back to age of innocence................i really needed a good cry.............many thanks to edith for the catharsis.........................
