The Age of Innocence

Edith Wharton,

About this book

Step into the glittering world of Gilded Age New York, where manners mask desire and tradition wars with the heart. In Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence, appearances rule society—but beneath the silks and chandeliers lies a quiet battle between passion and propriety. Newland Archer, a young lawyer engaged to the sweet and conventional May Welland, finds his carefully ordered life upended when the captivating Countess Ellen Olenska returns from Europe, defying social norms with her independence and honesty. Torn between duty and desire, Newland must choose between the comfort of conformity and the perilous freedom of love. With unmatched elegance and psychological depth, Wharton paints a portrait of a society obsessed with appearances, where genuine emotion is often sacrificed to reputation. Her keen observations and graceful prose earned her the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, making The Age of Innocence one of the most celebrated novels in American literature. A story of restraint, longing, and moral courage, this masterpiece captures the beauty—and the cost—of living by society's rules. ?
