The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton
5.0

What a marvellous and tragic reading. The descriptions, the sharp insight of the narrator (and the author) and the painstaking helplessness of the characters, enclosed in their own world of wealth. It’s a jewel. Even better than the Custom of the Country, and that was a MAJOR read.
