"The Age of Innocence"
"Winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize,
The Age of Innocence is Edith Wharton's masterful portrait of desire and betrayal during the sumptuous Golden Age of Old New York, a time when society people "dreaded scandal more than disease" (
GoodReads). Just as Newland Archer is about to marry the beautiful yet ordinary May Welland, the darkly enigmatic Countess Olenska returns to New York. Archer inevitably falls for her and becomes torn between staid obligation and agonizing ecstasy.
"We can't behave like people in novels, though, can we?" - Edith Wharton
