boopity 's review for:
The House of Mirth
by Edith Wharton
Read this in my American Realism class. I would say it's on the brink of realism and naturalism.
While discussing the book in class we were all pretty amused by the fact that half the class felt sympathy for Lily Bart and half of her couldn't stand her. We were all in agreement though, that this disparity between the readers is one of the most brilliant aspects of House of Mirth.
There were parts of this book that were hard to read, not because it was boring or slow or bad, but because I became so aggravated with Lily and her fatalistic choices.
I give it four stars only because of Selden's character. His character never seemed whole to me
