N2  - "Sanctuary" by Edith Wharton is a novel written in the late 19th century, exploring themes of love, morality, and the complexities of human relationships. The story centers on Kate Orme, a young woman on the brink of marriage to Denis Peyton, who grapples with her own emotions, the influence of societal expectations, and the shadow of a recent tragedy involving Denis' late brother, Arthur.  At the start of the novel, we see Kate in a state of seemingly unbridled happiness as she prepares for her wedding. However, this joy is quickly overshadowed by the revelation of a deep family secret regarding Denis’ deceased brother and the intertwining lives that have led to a tragic outcome. Wharton intricately captures Kate's shifting emotions, her thoughts about love, and the societal constraints of her time, leading to a conversation with Denis that reveals unsettling truths about their past and the implications for their future. The opening sets the stage for a profound exploration of moral dilemmas and the struggle for personal integrity amidst familial and social pressures. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
