I've failed to get much more than a third of the way through this book. I'm persistent, but I find my mind wandering off the book easily and I'm not in the slightest engrossed.
For me, the characters are all rather shallow and none of them seem likeable or intriguing in any way. I know this might be because people were all about "keeping up appearances" and the correct types of behaviour, but I'm just not feeling this at all. There also doesn't seem to be much romance in it - just lots of people gossiping about other people behind their backs.
It's a shame, one of my friends said she'd read everything that Wharton has written and loved them all.
