The atmosphere of this one perfectly foreshadows what is going to happen. Now, I feel the need to reread it.

I would love to re-read it again with fresh eyes, though it is quite tragic!! Chris from BookaRama just mentioned a Wharton book that ISN'T full of grief and tragedy, but the name escapes me. I didn't know there was such a book. ;)Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-75395519808620644302015-07-08T01:42:25.310-04:002015-07-08T01:42:25.310-04:00Thank you for the information, do not forget to st...Thank you for the information, do not forget to stop by my health website in the <a href="http://obatginjalherbal.com/" rel="nofollow">kidney herbal medicine</a> and <a href="http://obathipertensiherbal.com/" rel="nofollow">herbal medicine hypertension</a><br /><br /><a href="http://obathipertensiherbal.com/obat-herbal-mengik-terbaik" rel="nofollow">Obat Herbal Mengik Terbaik</a><br /><a href="http://obatkomplikasitradisional.jellygamatluxor.biz/cara-mengobati-sakit-dada-sebelah-kiri/" rel="nofollow">how to treat chest pain Left</a><br /><a href="http://obathipertensiherbal.com/pengobatan-kista-ovarium-tanpa-operasi/" rel="nofollow">Treatment of Ovarian Cysts Without opersi</a><br /><a href="http://obathipertensiherbal.com/pengobatan-beri-beri-secara-alami/" rel="nofollow">Treatment Give - Give Naturally</a><br /><br />HerbalSitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08897983853357425802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-71851178109140194862015-07-07T21:15:49.637-04:002015-07-07T21:15:49.637-04:00I looove this one so very much more than the other...I looove this one so very much more than the other Wharton's I've read.

She was the master of dramatic irony. I've also read it four or five times and it's always just wonderful. I think I need to reread House of Mirth again, soon.

It reminds me why I love reading Edith Wharton and her fateful characters whether Ethan or Lily Bart or Newland Archer. Thanks for reminding me why I enjoy reading this amazing author.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561320676355168336noreply@blogger.com
