{"product_id":"the-house-of-mirth-wordsworth-classics","title":"The House of Mirth (Wordsworth Classics)","description":"The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton tells the story of Lily Bart, aged 29, beautiful, impoverished and in need of a rich husband to safeguard her place in the social elite, and to support her expensive habits - her clothes, her charities and her gambling. Unwilling to marry without both love and money, Lily becomes vulnerable to the kind of gossip and slander which attach to a girl who has been on the marriage market for too long. Wharton charts the course of Lily's life, providing, along the way, a wider picture of a society in transition, a rapidly changing New York where the old certainties of manners, morals and family have disappeared and the individual has become an expendable commodity.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1840224193\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1840224193.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Edith Wharton\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
