The House of Mirth tells the story of Lily Bart, aged 29, beautiful, impoverished and in need of a rich husband to safeguard her place in the social elite, and to support her expensive habits - her clothes, her charities and her gambling. Unwilling to marry without both love and money, Lily becomes vulnerable to the kind of gossip and slander which attach to a girl who has been on the marriage market for too long. Wharton charts the course of Lily's life, providing, along the way, a wider picture of a society in transition, a rapidly changing New York where the old certainties of manners, morals and family have disappeared and the individual has become an expendable commodity.

读后感
Lily Bart, a beautiful and unmarried woman, 29-year-old, living in the leisure-class of New York, is eager to marry. Unfortunately, she misses several chances of attaining her goal, some of which have been broken by her own faults, others by other people’s...
评分她生活的环境好象眼下的娱乐圈，她努力想保持纯洁清白，可又想轻易获得财富，最终还是被卷进恶毒的流言。 《书摘》上的小说简介写得真是好，好到我在大学图书馆里找到这本破旧的小说，翻阅时竟然觉得跟简介写得一模一样（也许本末倒置？）。 我记得她在名画表演上举起双臂，顿...
评分读完了，译笔流畅，心理细腻，不错的风俗小说。是世俗的力量打败了爱情吗？诚如鲁迅先生所说，在这困顿中，可以看透很多事情。 “她看不起自己所追求的东西。”这样的人越来越少了。也许，我们会发现自己还没有那么堕落吧？我们有弱点，但是我们也有不能放下的自尊。 从小说的...
评分 评分心理描写很细致，很多处也都很有女权主义的雏形。只是当下社会已经给了女性更多的的选择，所以没有太多的代入感。如今女人不再是当客厅的太太一条路了，就算是上流社会的公主也是要去投行训练一下，有“正经工作”的。在此真挚地谢谢书中扮演背景的女工，是他们的存在和努力最...

Most pretentious & wordy.Origin of Gossip Girl. Or I only dip in the surface and never get the greatness?
评分The book itself wasn't really a page-turner but the last few scenes were so piercingly moving that it was well worth the read after all :(
评分感觉作者没有奥斯丁有名一个是因为语言（太多gre单词和从句了。。。读着费劲）另一个是不给主角happy ending。可能女主在现实生活中会是我因为不了解而轻视的那类人，但从书中她的角度看这个世界，体会她的快乐与烦恼，鱼和熊掌，还是怜惜她的。看到一半，粗俗男鱼死网破之后，很庆幸男主的表妹可以仍然坚守自己的原则。再感叹一下没妈的孩子真的没人疼！！！所以我要保护好自己的身体。我去！看到第12章哭惨了！女主在困境里坚守内心的时候都对我是一个重击。
评分磨了超过一年终于读毕，哈利路亚。Edith Wharton的作品读起来有点像自虐，故事flow极其缓慢，美丽的文笔却又勾人继续读下去。The House of Mirth, 一位美人的浮华人生与消殒，在最后的时刻，她守住了自己的阵地，而作为代价，却也不得不面对未来灰暗的前景 -- 好让我这个慢性抑郁者闹心。Selden这般懦弱的男人不要也罢
评分Weeping with anger and despair. I want to strangle every person in this book except Lily, Gerty, Mrs Struther... and perhaps Carry Fisher and Rosedale.
