The Age of Innocence : Edith Wharton's Pulitzer Prize-Winning Novel of Love, Duty, and Society

He had everything—except the freedom to love whom he chose.

The Age of Innocence is Edith Wharton's masterful portrayal of desire and decorum in Gilded Age New York. At the center of this elegant, emotionally charged novel is Newland Archer—a man torn between the life he's expected to lead and the life he secretly craves. Caught between tradition and passion, Archer must navigate a world ruled by appearances and silent judgment.

With biting irony and graceful prose, Wharton exposes the constraints of high society and the cost of suppressing one's true self in the name of duty and reputation.
