It’s the perfect match—gentleman lawyer Newland Archer will marry young socialite May Welland. The marriage should be a source of pride for Newland, accustomed as he is to meeting the expectations of New York’s high society. But when he falls for May’s exotic and enchanting cousin, Countess Ellen Olenska, he faces an impossible choice: should he be the dutiful husband and stay with his bride, or give in to his passions and follow the countess around the world?

A classic that encapsulates the etiquette of the times, The Age of Innocence is as much about loyalty, duty, and decorum as it is about desire.

Que leitura maravilhosa, com um final surpreendente. Pelo menos foi surpreendente para mim.
Acredito que na vida real, naquela época, deve ter acontecido muitas vezes, mas no mundo literário, foi a primeira vez que vi um desfecho assim.
