About The Age of Innocence
“He simply felt that if he could carry away the vision of the spot of earth she walked on, and the way the sky and sea enclosed it, the rest of the world might seem less empty.”
The Age of Innocence is a 1920 novel by American author Edith Wharton. It won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, making Wharton the first woman to win the prize and establishing her as the American 'First Lady of Letters'".
Set in the 1870s, in upper-class, "Gilded Age" New York City, the story focuses on an upper-class couple's impending marriage, and the introduction of the bride's cousin, plagued by scandal, whose presence threatens their happiness. A finely nuanced, enduring literary classic, and an unmissable read.
