The House of Mirth

De: Edith Wharton

Narrado por: Margaret Melosh

The House of Mirth is the story of Lily Bart, a penniless woman of the high society of New York City, who was raised and educated to become wife to a wealthy man, a hothouse flower for conspicuous consumption. As an unattached woman with gambling debts and an uncertain future, Lily is destroyed by the society who created her. Written in the style of a novel of manners, the writing itself is an illustration of American literary naturalism.

Background interference.

The background interference in the recoding was disturbing. It occurs towards the end of book one and continues into book 2.

Book club pick

This was an interesting read. It was picked for a book club. While this is not my style, I think the audible helped greatly for this.

This recording should be pulled.

The sound recording is extremely low quality. This version should not be available for sale. I would like to return it for a different audio version.

Poor Quality Recording

Love the book, however the quality of recording is terrible. Additionally the statement of book, chapter reference is extremely disruptive to listening.
