The story of Lily Bart resonates better in my 30s, and I appreciated the tarnished view of society life much more after years of reading Regency and Victorian romances where everything works out in the end. Lily was a character I could really feel for; if I'd been in her position, I'd like to think that I would have made different (better) choices, but I suspect that I wouldn't--and that's where the appeal lies. We like to think we can see our choices in black and white, but emotion adds so many shades of grey that we can find ourselves making worse and worse choices with the best of intentions. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss10.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_265266682" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_265266682"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_265266682" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_265266682" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_265266682"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/kcchessor" target="_top">kcchessor</a> | Jun 4, 2024 | <a href="/review/265266682"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_263947243" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/11880" data-workid="11880" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1844082938.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1844082938.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/1844082938.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>Maybe 3.5 stars?

But, as she nears thirty, her foothold becomes precarious: she needs a husband to preserve her social and financial standing, to maintain her in the luxury she craves. Many men have sought her, but something - fastidiousness, an uncomfortable intelligence or some deep-seated integrity - prevents her from making a "suitable" match. Watched by the admiring but impoverished Lawrence Selden, she struggles courageously with the difficulties caused by the growing threat of poverty and her contempt for hypocrisy - a contempt which compromises her position as an unmarried woman among "the ultra-fashionable dancing people". This novel, originally published in 1905, shocked the society it chronicles, portraying the moral, social and economic constraints on a spriited woman.</div><img style="float:left;"
