 The House of MirthEdith WhartonThe House of Mirth is Edith Wharton's story of Lily Bart, a beautiful but aging woman raised to believe that her looks would restore wealth to her family.

Lily meets Lawrence Selden, a middle-class attorney who outwardly loathes the upper class but secretly aspires to belong to it. But by the time Selden realizes that he loves Lily, it is too late.
