Bookshop Reading Group: The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton
This is 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.
The Bookshop's fortnightly reading group is a great way to meet new people and discuss the pleasures of literature over a glass of wine in the Arts Centre's Bookshop. There is no charge to join the reading group, just turn up on the night. All readings start at 8pm, all welcome.
