House Of Mirth

The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton follows the life of Lily Bart, an impoverished yet beautiful member of New York’s high society. Approaching thirty and still unmarried, she strives to secure a wealthy husband to maintain her social standing. However, her mounting debts, declining circumstances, and the relentless gossip fueled by her social missteps threaten her prospects. As suitors come and go, Lily is drawn into a downward spiral of loneliness and despair, confronting the harsh reality that she is perilously close to losing everything she holds dear.
