Overview

A black comedy of manners about vast wealth and a woman who can define herself only through the perceptions of others. The beautiful Lily Bart lives among the nouveaux riches of New York City - people whose millions were made in railroads, shipping, land speculation and banking. In this morally and aesthetically bankrupt world, Lily, age twenty-nine, seeks a husband who can satisfy her cravings for endless admiration and all the trappings of wealth. But her quest comes to a scandalous end when she is accused of being the mistress of a wealthy man. Exiled from her familiar world of artificial conventions, Lily finds life impossible.

  • This book was written during a time with strict societal rules. It focuses itself on class and gender discrimination. #BannedBook

    If you have a love for older books that focus on societal roles, gender discrimination, and love, then this is a book for you. It is very well written, and I would recommend it to adults with romanticized views. #BannedBook
