Lovingly renovated, located by the sea in a quiet Long Island village, the house is her nest egg - the retirement account shared with her ex-husband, Mike, and the college fund for their teenage daughter, Jem. The catch? To afford the house, Ruthie must let it go during the best part of the year. It's Memorial Day weekend, and Ruthie has packed up their belongings for what Jem calls "the summer bummer": the family's annual exodus to make way for renters.

W.....T......F..... Seriously....?!
- By Wendi on 09-07-17
Publisher's Summary
A juicy, sprawling comedy of manners about a group of 30-somethings navigating friendship, love, and their fledgling careers among Houston's high-powered, oil-money elite.
Thirty-year-old Vivienne Cally is wealthy in name only. Orphaned as a child and raised by a cold but regal aunt, Vivienne was taught to rely on her beauty and Texas tradition, and is expected to marry a wealthy and respectable man who will honor the Cally name. Friends with Houston's richest and most prominent families, she's a beloved fixture at the social events big and small, and she suffers no shortage of access to some of the city's most eligible bachelors.
Preston Duffin has known Vivienne and her set since childhood. He's never shared their social aspirations or their status, but is liked and respected for his sharp wit and intelligence. About to graduate from a prestigious architecture program, he is both fascinated and repelled by this group of friends he sits on the cusp of, one that shares none of his curiosity about the world beyond Houston. He has long admired Vivienne's beauty and grace, but he isn't sure he holds any place in such a traditional life. Intrigued by Preston's ambitions and the extent to which he challenges the only way of life she's ever known, Vivienne both courts Preston's attention and rebuffs his critiques of her predictable and antiquated priorities and values.
Inspired by Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth, A Wife of Noble Character shares the original novel's astute social commentary at the same time that it illuminates the trappings and rewards of coming of age that are wholly unique to the 21st century. Part biting wit, part good-old-fashioned love story, it will charm both fans of Wharton and anyone who has ever struggled to find their way in life.

Loved it!
Loved it! For me it was a story that when done I felt sad to say goodbye to the characters. The author's writing was very colorful and vivid. I felt like I was reading an Edith Wharton novel. I look forward to reading more books from the author in the future.

Great narration and excellent story
Really enjoyed this listen though I found the ending to be a little disappointing. I was really impressed with the narration - the narrator had the perfect southern draw.
