HOUSE OF MIRTH

The well-bred society of New York City and its ill-bred behavior provide the backdrop for this amusing story of the beautiful Lily Bart and her search for a wealthy husband. This is as timely now as when first written. In a suitably upper crust accent, with just the proper amount of disdain, Bron manages to portray both female and male characters credibly and to differentiate characters well. The reading is fast-paced, but fluid; the speed works well with the novel. E.L.C. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: MAR 93]
