The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton – Led by Adam

The House of Mirth follows Lily Bart, a beautiful but penniless woman navigating the social expectations of New York’s elite in the early 20th century. Trapped between the desire for freedom and the pressure to marry well, Lily’s downfall is as much a result of societal cruelty as her own missteps.

Edith Wharton was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. This 1905 novel marked her emergence as a major literary voice, dissecting the moral failings and constraints of American high society with elegance and insight.
