Description
by
Edith Wharton (Author)
The House of Mirth tells the story of Lily Bart, a well-born but impoverished woman belonging to New York City’s high society around the turn of the last century. Lily is a woman of a stunning beauty who, though raised and educated to marry well both socially and economically, is reaching her 29th year, an age when her youthful blush is drawing to a close and her marital prospects are becoming ever more limited. The House of Mirth traces Lily’s slow two-year social descent from privilege to a tragically lonely existence on the margins of society.
