The Penguin English Library Edition of The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton
"It was characteristic of her that she always roused speculation, that her simplest acts seemed the result of far-reaching intentions."
A searing, shocking tale of women as consumer items in a man's world, The House of Mirth follows Lily Bart, a beautiful and charming woman living among the wealthy families of New York. Despite her privileged surroundings, Lily is reluctant to finally commit herself to a husband. In her quest for freedom and the happiness she feels she deserves, she becomes entangled in scandal, ultimately leading to her ruin.
Edith Wharton’s shattering novel created controversy upon its publication in 1905, with its scathing portrayal of the wealthy elite and the prison that marriage can become.
