Acerca de esta escucha
Lily Bart, born into New York City's high society in the 19th century, was raised and educated to marry well both socially and economically. As she approaches the age of 29, her marital prospects become limited, and she descends on a two-year social slide from privilege to a tragically lonely existence on the margins of society.

Witty socialite Lily Bart has expensive tastes. Unfortunately, she does not have the social status to match.
