Description
The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton In the rigid world of old New York society, a woman's independence can be both a blessing and a curse. Countess Olenska, separated from her European husband, brings with her an awareness of life that stirs the educated sensitivity of those around her. As she navigates this complex social landscape, Olenska's presence challenges the conventions of her time. Her story is one of love, loyalty, and the struggle for individuality in a society governed by propriety. This novel, first published in 1966, offers a nuanced exploration of the human experience, revealing the tensions between tradition and personal desire.
