Description

Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence is a poignant and satirical novel about a life of privilege and strict duty. Born into one of New York's leading families, Newland Archer has been shaped by the society that surrounds him. When the arrival of the Countess Olenska brings European sophistication to his doorstep, he begins to question the path laid out for him. As his fascination with her grows, he discovers just how hard it is to escape the bonds of a world that values duty above all else. With its vivid portrayal of a bygone era, this novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and the constraints of social expectation. This beautifully bound edition features an introduction by award-winning novelist Rachel Cusk, making it a treasured addition to any book lover's collection.
