Happy to know I've been sharing a cultural wavelength with you - I'm currently reading both Wharton and dabbling in Agatha Christie books. I'll be adding The Mother’s Recompense and The Affair at Styles to my list, among others you've mentioned. I also agree we should all be reading Wharton all the time - at the moment I'm reading her collection of short stories, Ghosts.
I recently finished When We Cease... and found it has really stayed on my mind. To describe that math in a translatable way is so impressive! I'm in New Mexico and so the nuclear world is always close by and top of mind for many of us-- people are still developing cancers from the initial explosions, so it's a quite bodily and physical thing. The national Oppenheimer hype has been interesting to watch from here.
TLOB forever
We SHOULD be reading Wharton all the time, agree
Kismet! The Line of Beauty is on my shelf…thank you. I think I read 10 different page 1s last night fussing over my next read.
