Description  The House of Mirth Author : Edith Wharton ISBN 1844082938 (ISBN13: 9781844082933) edition language : English characters : Lily Bart, Lawrence Selden, Simon Rosedale, Judy Trenor, Gus Trenor setting : New York City, New York (United States) Link : http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17728.The_House_of_Mirth First published in 1905, The House of Mirth shocked the New York society it so deftly chronicles, portraying the moral, social, and economic restraints on a woman who dared to claim the privileges of marriage without assuming the responsibilities. Lily Bart, beautiful, witty, and sophisticated, is accepted by "old money" and courted by the growing tribe of nouveaux riches. But as she nears 30, her foothold becomes precarious; a poor girl with expensive tastes, she needs a husband to preserve her social standing and to maintain her life in the luxury she has come to expect. While many have sought her, something—fastidiousness or integrity—prevents her from making a "suitable" match.   Related Torrents
