House of Mirth is a novel written by Edith Wharton, first published in 1905. It tells the story of Lily Bart, a young woman from a wealthy New York City family who is struggling to maintain her social position and financial security in the high society of the early 20th century. Lily is beautiful, charming, and well-educated, but her lack of money and her unwillingness to marry for financial gain put her in a precarious position. As she navigates the social scene, she becomes entangled in a web of gossip, scandal, and deceit that threatens to ruin her reputation and her chances for happiness. The novel explores themes of class, gender, and the role of women in society, as well as the destructive power of social expectations and the pressures of conformity. It is a poignant and insightful portrayal of the human condition, and a timeless classic of American literature.An impulse of curiosity made him turn out of his direct line to the door, and stroll past her. He knew that if she did not wish to be seen she would contrive to elude him; and it amused him to think of putting her skill to the test.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
