THE AGE OF INNOCENCE
by Edith Wharton

"The Age of Innocence" by Edith Wharton is a novel set in the upper-class society of New York City in the 1870s. The story centers on Newland Archer, a young lawyer who is engaged to May Welland, a suitable match according to the norms of his social circle.
However, Archer's life takes a complicated turn when he meets and falls in love with May's cousin, Ellen Olenska.
Ellen is a countess who has returned from Europe after a scandalous separation from her husband.
Throughout the novel, Archer struggles with his desires and societal expectations, as he navigates between his attraction to Ellen and his duty to May.

Wharton critically examines the social customs and morals of the American elite, providing a detailed, subtle exploration of the conflicts between personal happiness and societal norms.
The novel won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, making Wharton the first woman to win the award.
