Book Description:

The Age of Innocence is Edith Wharton’s masterful portrait of love, duty, and quiet rebellion in the upper echelons of 1870s New York society. The novel follows Newland Archer, a well-bred young lawyer engaged to the graceful and proper May Welland — until the arrival of May’s cousin, the independent and scandal-shadowed Countess Ellen Olenska, upends his world.

As Newland is torn between passion and convention, he must confront the weight of social expectations and the cost of personal freedom. With its elegant prose and incisive commentary, The Age of Innocence is a timeless exploration of desire, sacrifice, and the invisible forces that shape our lives.

About Edith Wharton:

Edith Wharton was an American novelist and short story writer known for her piercing insight into the social mores of the Gilded Age. The first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, she is best remembered for works like The Age of Innocence, Ethan Frome, and The House of Mirth. With elegant prose and a sharp eye for hypocrisy and constraint, Wharton exposed the emotional cost of privilege and the quiet rebellion of women navigating rigid social worlds.
