It was de rigueur in New York society that a married woman should think better of divorcing. But reality bites. To keep up with Kardashianism and hedonism, Undine Spragg ran afoul of the custom of the country, made advances to her old flame and parlayed each dalliance into a solid footing in the pecking order. Many thanks to her uxorious husband.

Wharton也不算是storyteller，她比较擅长写那种Dagonet生活和人的情感情绪状态。女主从头到尾都招人讨厌，如此自私冷漠也是没谁了……看到Marvell开枪自杀时真难过，婚啊千万不要在梦想能改造对方人格的幻想下随便结啊

Undine是丈夫们的悲剧，自己的悲哀。

3.5 Wharton和張愛玲的分別在於, 她骨子裡是一個人類學家, 只不過是借男女之間的戰爭來觀察現代資本主義社會對個體的異化和舊貴族的淘汰

看到part 2儿子生日风波那里。这本书的时代是在纯真年代之后吧。贵族为上转向拜金主义。书里提及了一些新女性思想，还有男主的英雄主义情怀和面对真实生活的无措。看这本书的同时我也在决定借不借钱给一位相识，但看到女主对父母的态度，还有赖在欧洲不回来管男主姐姐借钱一下让我也做出了自己的选择。现在的时代邓文迪的不择手段都是要被崇拜标榜的，但牺牲了什么呢？一些道德和自省吧。
