currerbell 's review for:

The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton

4.0

---

I love it when a novel redeems itself in the last few pages. I didn’t think very much of this one until the end: it is well written throughout, but it drags a little. But then - that ending! That perfect ending! I felt so much for Lily’s despair and think that Wharton ended the novel beautifully.
