"The Age of Innocence is a timeless classic that explores the constraints of societal norms on individual desires. Edith Wharton's evocative writing transports readers to 1870s New York and tells the story of a doomed romance between the youthful Newland Archer and the alluring Countess Ellen Olenska. Recommended for fans of nuanced character studies and historical fiction."
