I really enjoyed this re-telling of "House of Mirth", the Edith Wharton classic. The story line makes you consider that while things are always changing, so much remains the same. Good narration, held my interest very well. There are times you hate each of the main characters, as well you should. They can be remarkably heinous to each other - sometimes you feel like you're surrounded by a nest of venomous vipers. With friends like these, who needs enemies? While some may find this work a bit "soapy", it is a wonderfully gleeful story of society's evils.
