Set in New York circa 1900, Edith Wharton's dark novel of the unraveling of restless, not-quite-conventional Lily Bart is an indictment of the city's grasping, cruel, snobbish upper classes. It's also a marvelous portrait of the turn-of-the-century city, its surrounding country estates and Byzantine formalities.
