Lily's mother seemed like such a cruel woman. Her father's death being overshadowed by the fact that he could not provide for the family was deeply disheartening. Despite the novel's somber tones and questionable foreshadowing regarding Lily's fate (death?), I am thoroughly enjoying Edith Wharton's writing. It is whimsical and holds a dazzling spark to it. Very reminiscent of Fanny Fern's, in my amateur opinion.

My heart aches for Lily. It seems she never had a fighting chance in the harsh society she had been brought into. It's such a shame that her story has unfolded in this way. Foolishly, I am hoping that it there is a light at the end of the tunnel, however, I am sure there is not.
