Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth unfolds in the opulent yet rigid world of New York high society at the dawn of the 20th century. Lily Bart, a beautiful and charming but impoverished socialite, navigates the perilous waters of this elite circle, where one's reputation is paramount. Trapped by the conventions and expectations of her peers, Lily seeks a wealthy husband to secure her position, yet her heart and principles often lead her astray. As she grapples with the contradictions of love and luxury, Lily's journey becomes a poignant critique of a world where wealth and status dictate one's fate. Wharton's novel is a masterful exploration of social dynamics, personal ambition, and the elusive nature of happiness within the glittering confines of high society.
