A New York 'it' woman, Lily Bart is a beauty of slim means and costly preferences, sought after at all the high society celebrations in town. Her fantastic looks and charm make it a given that she'll soon be wedded to a guy of exceptional riches and status. One at a time, the multimillionaires she meets semester at her ft, but in some way Lily sees herself not capable of making a solely mercenary match and so finds herself swept up in a detrimental tussle between her emotional and financial needs. Hilarious and deeply moving by move, Edith Wharton's masterpiece is a riveting sociable satire that ponders the question of whether it is possible for people that have inner beauty and moral looks to survive amidst the moneyed top notch and whether that top notch is itself in a position to avoid the destruction of the living beauty it so frantically will try to feign. Although set at the move of the 20th century, the problems it addresses are as relevant today as these were then.
