I'm about to take a long bus trip, and I'm considering either The Age of Innocence or The House of Mirth on audiobook to entertain me on the way.
From these older posts, it sounds like I might do better with House of Mirth?
I'm finishing up Vanity Fair on audiobook right now. And I'm really primed for another novel delving into the ills of (high) society in an engaging and incisive way.

I have not yet read The House of Mirth but The Age of Innocence, my first Wharton, sustained me on a couple of rather tedious road journeys recently and made me want to read more of her works.
May? Very cleverly drawn - manipulative - she's a nasty piece of work deep down (imo!): beware the sweetly pretty ones!
