A Motor-Flight Through France (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Edith Wharton

Overview

Wharton hit the road with her good friend Henry James, and returned with this 1908 memoir of a trip that spanned the country she would adopt as her home. Largely a tour of the nation’s architecture, the author also relates her pilgrimage to the home of George Sand, perhaps her spiritual mentor.
