About this listen

The House of Mirth is the story of Lily Bart, a penniless woman of the high society of New York City, who was raised and educated to become wife to a wealthy man, a hothouse flower for conspicuous consumption. As an unattached woman with gambling debts and an uncertain future, Lily is destroyed by the society who created her. Written in the style of a novel of manners, the writing itself is an illustration of American literary naturalism.

This was an interesting read. It was picked for a book club. While this is not my style, I think the audible helped greatly for this.

Love the book, however the quality of recording is terrible. Additionally the statement of book, chapter reference is extremely disruptive to listening.
