Classics Editorial Review
The House of Mirth is a classic novel that depicts society's progress in the early 1900s. The protagonist, Miss Bart, is a skilled and intelligent woman who struggles to support herself in a society that expects women to marry wealthy men. The story is intriguing, dramatic, and suspenseful, with a focus on the themes of pride, expectations, and love. However, some readers have reported difficulties reading this edition due to the small print size, which can make the book challenging to read. Additionally, some customers have received ex-library copies with markings and stickers, which can be disappointing for those looking for a new book.
