Set in and around London, "The Reef" is a story of complex morality
and its intricately woven place in society. This narrative
primarily follows George Darrow and Anna Leath, a young gentleman
and a widowed lady who plan to marry. Both of them experience
doubts about their union, with surprising outcomes. Darrow has a
brief liaison with the delicate, generous Sophy Viner, a kind woman
of the working class. She later meets Anna's stepson Owen Leath,
who wishes to upset social conventions and marry her. When Anna's
discovers the intimate history of Darrow and Sophy, she worries
about her stepson's affections and feels concerned about the
alliance she herself is about to create. Wharton's talent for
balancing emotional turmoil and all the social manners of her time
is blended into this philosophical work that explores the
metaphorical reefs in the hearts of women.
