I didn't know the title came from the Old Testament/Torah/Bible...but it does.
Ecclesiastes 7:4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of the fools is in the house of mirth. So there it is, the title of our book. I'm assuming this means Lilly isn't wise? since shes in the house of mirth? or maybe shes escaping it and finding wisdom?
I also didn't know what 'Mirth' meant, so i looked it up. Mirth-amusement, usually expressed in laughter. I'm not too sure what all this means. i guess we'll find out.

Ben,
thanks for finding this! What do you think about "house of mirth" and the fools? Why do you think she would have titled the book that way?
