"The Reef" by Edith Wharton is a story set in the late 1800s that looks at tricky ideas such as love and the rules of society; it tells the story of George Darrow and Anna Leath and their messy history. George's emotions get stirred up when he gets a telegram from Anna, making him think back to their past and the things keeping them apart. As he deals with a terrible storm, his feelings are all over the place because of Anna and his connection with Sophy Viner. Sophy is young and spirited, and brings a new twist to George's feelings for Anna, making him wonder whether it is better to look to the past or explore new romances.
