Description
Twilight Sleep (1927) is a sharp social satire by Edith Wharton that captures the restless energy and contradictions of 1920s America. The story follows the Manfred family, whose privileged lives revolve around wealth, fashion, parties, and the pursuit of quick fixes for life’s discomforts. The novel’s title, taken from a medical method of pain-free childbirth, becomes a powerful metaphor for the characters’ attempts to numb themselves against reality, responsibility, and deeper emotional truths. With wit and psychological insight, Wharton portrays a society dazzled by modernity yet spiritually hollow, exposing the cost of a life devoted only to pleasure and escape.
