Although my feelings about Lily Bart and Lawrence Selden have changed over the years, they are still fascinating characters. The book is riveting in its focus on characters and the vicious alliances and values the "haves" hold against the "have nots" and their treatment of people who do not live up to their hollow, shallow standards. Bertha Dorset is a prime example. At the same time, you can't help but feel Wharton's disapproval for the life she knew well, especially as it pertains to how young women were brought up and what little was expected of them. Wharton doesn't sugarcoat the fate of these women just as she doesn't sugarcoat the fate of Lily Bart, which is one of her strengths as a writer. You might not end up loving Lily Bart or any of the characters but place them in their time and you get a fascinating portrait of what life was really like, for the rich and poor, in Gilded Age America. Definitely worth the read. ### ⭐ CAUTION WITH THIS KINDLE EDITION *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2019* This Kindle editions appears to have been translated from some foreign language back into English by a computer translation. The language is not understandable. For example, a line might appear in the original "she was going home" and appear in thus edition as "she goes U.S.A. houses now". I hope someone will look into this. It is very strange that such an edition could appear on Amazon. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Saying goodbye to 2015 in style… *by E***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2015* For the final weeks of this year, I wanted to step away from the modern set of storytellers and revisit my favorites of bygone eras. I would be an ignorant churl to neglect Mrs. Edith Wharton, for her writing has become unmatched in my mind and has proven an absolute delight to me each time I pull the lamp chain and take elegant carriage rides with her multifaceted storylines and characters. Honestly, you just cannot find writing like this anymore and The House of Mirth is still this reader’s choice for a perfect escape into early 20th century-late 19th century New York society and with saying goodbye to 2015; I decided no better book could be found than revisiting the ornamental world of privilege, ultimate damaging opinions and malicious whispers behind gloved hands that surrounded my old friend Lily Bart.In this tragic and realistic tale we have more than a frilly story of a poor little rich girl, we have an elevated cast of characters with the familiar complexity of personalities that Mrs. Wharton excelled in creating for her readers. She was known for her biting commentary and after reading a good listing of her magnetic titles; The House of Mirth seems to be her darkest examination about the other side of the door of the grand houses on Fifth Avenue versus the comedic satire that wonderfully twirls together the first part of  The Buccaneers . In this story we experience various emotional and passionate pages of: happiness, greed, love, jealousy and endless possibilities of hope and lines of regret and despair. The further you sink into the elegantly crafted world Mrs. Wharton has painted with such striking and commanding strokes of events; the more you will never forget those moments. I know I never have or will and I couldn’t have found a better way to let 2015 go with style and reflection than revisiting the complex journey of emotions and trials that beautifully dwells in this understated classic.
