In New York, Lily Bart lives among the receptions of high society, trips abroad and stays in the residences of friends. Through her beauty and intelligence, she moves into a hypocritical environment hoping to find a husband. A strong and contrasted sentiment binds her to Lawrence Selden, a young lawyer. Lily knows that she would never give up the comforts she grew up in and that she was educated to desire, but she can not break away from him. Page after page, you will discover that – the most tragic moment of her life – Lily wears the thickness of rectitude and moral integrity. With a modern and implacable writing in investigating the psyche of its characters, you will discover that The House of Mirth is a novel with perfect narrative architecture, the one that portrays the high society of New York in the early twentieth century, in a context of human splendor and misery strangely current.
