Edith Wharton, 2010, Collins Classics
HarperCollins presents a classic edition of Edith Wharton's "The Age of Innocence." The story follows Newland Archer, a lawyer navigating the rigid social structures of upper-class New York society in the 1870s. His engagement to the conventional May Welland secures his place within this elite world. However, the arrival of May's cousin, the unconventional Countess Olenska, disrupts his life. Drawn to the Countess's wit and defiance of societal norms, Newland experiences a profound sense of freedom and begins to feel alive for the first time.
