Bunner Sisters Explained

Bunner Sisters is a novella published by Edith Wharton.

As Nancy Van Rosk writes, “’Bunner Sisters’ has had a long history of being overlooked. Rejected twice by Scribner's because of its length and its ‘being unsuitable to serial publication’”,[1] it was eventually published in the 1916 collection Xingu and Other Stories.
