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.”

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.

    I read this for a Modern Lit course in College. I really really liked this book. It had a real twisted story and some sexual bits... which of course makes for an excellent read. Tie that in with some family frustrations and a little death and its fabulous. I think I will reread this one day.

  • I chose this for a book club, but because I love movies, I saw the movie before finishing the book. I don't want to finish the book because the main character annoys me now. I might possibly suffer through it for the sake of the book club. I liked Ethan Frome a lot more.
