The House of Mirth is a novel by American WOMAN author Edith Wharton, published o14 October 1905. I wiki says t is a sharp, brutal, and destructive tragedy which tells the story of Lily Bart, a well-born but impoverished woman belonging to New York City's high society in the 1890s
Largest book I've tried in a while. So far we're following a 29-year-old single cigarette smoking female in New York in 1905 whose friends are tired of her and urge her to get married. This book ends in some sort of tragedy I don't know why I picked it up ...like. Who wants to read a tragedy wtf
Spoiler alert
The tragedy was,.........,.................................................... She overdosed on prescription drugs.
It's definitely not what I thought a hundred and twenty year old book would be about it includes casinos gambling debts and an overdose on Rx Chloral
I think there was a baby in the room when she did it

Bellomont is the country estate of the wealthy Trenor family in Edith Wharton's novel The House of Mirth. It serves as a symbol of the luxurious but socially demanding upper-class world Lily Bart inhabits, a place where she attempts to navigate the complexities of society to find a husband while maintaining her social standing. At Bellomont, she encounters the wealthy Percy Gryce, but her true affection lies with Lawrence Selden.
