The Age of Innocence

Om The Age of Innocence

The Age of Innocence begins with Newland Archer--gentleman-lawyer and scion of one of New York's most privileged families--anticipating his marriage to the gentle, lovely, and equally privileged May Welland. But when Newland meets May's cousin, the beautiful and scandal-ridden Countess Ellen Olenska, he begins to doubt his choice of bride and his place within the shallow, gilded cage of society life. If the Countess Olenska can dare to leave her disastrous marriage, can defy the unspoken, iron-clad rules that have shaped her life--what freedoms are possible for him? And what does true innocence look like in a world strangled by hollow custom, trivial squabbles, and the appearance of goodness? A Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the Gilded Age, The Age of Innocence is one of Edith Wharton's greatest novels and a true classic that continues to inspire and transfix readers today.
