Thoughts
I thought I'd follow up with another Edith Wharton novel, since Ethan Frome was so short. The House of Mirth follows social-butterfly Lily Bart as she struggles to find her place in the changing scene of turn-of-the-century New York society. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and narrative, but was slightly surprised when the plot started to deviate from the path that I thought it would take at the start of the novel. I enjoyed reading this book very much but it left me feeling a bit grim: perhaps it's best to avoid Wharton's works if you are a fan of cliche happy endings.
About the eBook
The novel was originally published in 1905 with illustrations, and it would have been an added bonus if these were included in the eBook (but it certainly doesn't need them - it's a great read).
