The Age of Innocence #296453

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.
This is Newland Archer’s 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 life—or mercilessly destroy it.
