michaeldennis 's review for:
The House of Mirth
by Edith Wharton
I rated this book three stars but I think if I were to re-read it, I might upgrade it to four. A sombre, melancholy book with some sections of sheer genius. But so many socialite characters that I was hard put to keep them straight.
Lily is a complicated character, an illusory character that is difficult to get a grip on. Half manipulative, half naive, but almost entirely a woman who maintains a facade at all times. Who is the real Lily Bart?
