A review by lcf1023
The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton
4.0
I read this as part of my project to read one book by a female author from each decade of the 20th century. This was the first installment from the 1900s.
Poor Lily Bart. She was an infuriating character, but I was rooting for her until the end. I enjoyed the novel a lot more than I thought I would. I haven’t read much from this time period and it was a fascinating insight into the high society of the Gilded Age. Although I can’t say Edith Wharton gave it a ringing endorsement. I look forward to reading The Age of Innocence.
