Beautiful, intelligent, and hopelessly addicted to luxury, Lily Bart is the heroine of this Wharton masterpiece. But it is her very taste and moral sensibility that render her unfit for survival in this world.

2 stars

I read the first half, then skipped to the last 3 chapters. I cared little for Lily Bart and her increasingly dire circumstances. I cared less about her brittle social set.
