The Age of Innocence #951927

Newland Archer prepares for a perfect marriage to the respectable May Welland, but the return of the scandalous Countess Olenska disrupts his carefully ordered world. Caught between the safety of convention and the allure of a kindred spirit, he faces a choice that defines his entire existence. The rigid codes of Old New York society tighten like a noose, demanding the sacrifice of personal happiness for public appearance. It is a sophisticated, bittersweet dissection of love denied and the price of social acceptance.
