Harry Bennett Branch Book Discussion Via Zoom: The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton

The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton

Newland Archer is charming, tactful, enlightened and a thorough product of his environs; he accepts its standards and abides by its rules but he also recognizes its limitations. His engagement to the impeccable May Welland assures him a safe and conventional future, until the arrival of May's cousin Ellen Olenska puts all his plans in jeopardy. Independent, free thinking, scandalously separated from her husband, Ellen forces Newland to question the values and assumptions of his narrow world. As their love for each other grows, Newland has to decide where his loyalty lies.
