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.

The background interference in the recoding was disturbing. It occurs towards the end of book one and continues into book 2.

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.
