Fascinating look into New York social life of the rich. I enjoyed the book immensely and the fact that it was written in another era added to its authenticity and interest. It's a nice peek into a world we never knew.

The House of Mirth" has its merits. It gives a clear (I assume) picture of the self-centered silliness of high society in the fading Victorian Age in NYC. Unfortunately I really couldn't get into this book and I finally gave up about half way through. I'm disappointed after reading such fabulous reviews.
