Paperback. Zustand: Good. Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time In The House of Mirth, Edith Wharton depicts the glittering salons of Gilded Age New York with precision and wit, even as she movingly portrays the obstacles that impeded women's choices at the turn of the century.
