Description

? In a society ruled by appearance, love must bow to decorum.

Set amid the elite social circles of 1870s New York, The Age of Innocence is Edith Wharton's masterful exploration of passion versus propriety. At the heart of the story is Newland Archer, a young lawyer engaged to the sweet and conventional May Welland -- until the arrival of Ellen Olenska, her scandal-shrouded cousin, turns his carefully ordered world upside down.

Torn between his role in society and his emotional awakening, Newland faces a harrowing moral dilemma: conform to expectations or follow his heart. Wharton's elegant prose and psychological depth shine in this devastating portrait of a world obsessed with manners, appearances, and silent repression.

? Why this novel endures:

Winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction

A richly detailed portrayal of Gilded Age New York society

One of the most poignant literary love stories ever written
