La casa de la alegría by Edith Wharton
5.0

Reading this... Last week was hard for me (in my personal life) and I believe this book was hard to read for me because most of the times I felt like Lily. I find her one of the best characters in terms of how resembling to a real person she seems. Edith Wharton has a way to make sure you'll end up with your heart broken after finishing one of her novels. However, I'm not sure if it took me so long to read because I felt a lot of characters were irrelevant, or I didn't enjoy so much information which I didn't care about or if I just couldn't fully enjoy this story because I felt too immerse in it and because my own life was being hard for me. I still will give it 5 stars because it's a beautiful, capturing, heartbreaking novel filled with humanity, the ugly and the pretty, and so real.
