ceeerys 's review for:

The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton
5.0

When I begun reading I was constantly comparing it to [b:The Age of Innocence|53835|The Age of Innocence|Edith Wharton|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388248423l/53835._SY75_.jpg|1959512], my first Wharton, but now I've completed The House of Mirth, I can say that personally, this far suppresses my initial thoughts. The direct comment on the constitution of high class New York society in the early 19th century is courageous, and Wharton's gentle moments are so beautiful.
