The House of Mirth tells the story of Lily Bart, aged 29, beautiful, impoverished and in need of a rich husband to safeguard her place in the social elite, and to support her expensive habits - her clothes, her charities and her gambling.

Wharton charts the course of Lily's life, providing, along the way, a wider picture of a society in transition, a rapidly changing New York where the old certainties of manners, morals and family have disappeared and the individual has become an expendable commodity.

评分The book itself wasn't really a page-turner but the last few scenes were so piercingly moving that it was well worth the read after all :(
评分Edith Wharton really writes with a touch of poetry. 文笔特别细腻优美,后半本书故事开始变得有趣人物也开始变得可爱
