Summary
Orpheline ruinée, Lily Bart cherche à faire un riche mariage, bien qu'elle aime un avocat, Lawrence Selden. Trop honnête pour se vendre, mais d'allure trop libre pour garder sa réputation intacte, elle se voit fermer les portes de la haute société... Avec un art digne de son maître Henry James, Edith Wharton peint la haute société new-yorkaise, son éclat et sa richesse, mais aussi sa profonde corruption.
