Overview
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and one of the most celebrated novels of the twentieth century, The Age of Innocence explores the intricate social world of Gilded Age New York. Newland Archer, a young lawyer engaged to the beautiful and proper May Welland, finds his carefully ordered life upended by the arrival of Countess Ellen Olenska, a woman whose independence and defiance of convention challenge every rule of the society he knows. Torn between duty and desire, Archer must choose between the expectations of his world and the yearning of his heart in this timeless story of love, loss, and the cost of conformity.
