Description
Winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize, The Age of Innocence is Edith Whartonโs masterful portrait of desire and betrayal during the sumptuous Golden Age of Old New York, a time when society people โdreaded scandal more than disease.โ
This is Newland Archerโs world as he prepares to marry the beautiful but conventional May Welland. But when the mysterious Countess Ellen Olenska returns to New York after a disastrous marriage, Archer falls deeply in love with her. Torn between duty and passion, Archer struggles to make a decision that will either courageously define his lifeโor mercilessly destroy it.
