House of Mirth Review--no spoilers
The House of Mirth The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton


My review


rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a tragedy of manners, well written, a bit plodding, but worth the time spent. I don't love Lily Bart nor any of her 'friends' but I'm pretty sure that's the point. Edith Wharton's social commentary is keen, almost cruel. She shows her skill in explicating that in 'Age of Innocence' and even more so in this work.
