Newland Archer, soon to marry the lovely May Welland, is a man torn between his respect for tradition and family and his attraction to May's strongly independent cousin, the Countess Ellen Olenska. Plagued by the desire to live in a world where two people can love each other free from condemnation and judgment by the group, Newland views the artful delicacy of the world he lives in as a comforting security one moment, and at another, as an oppressive fiction masking true human nature. The Age of Innocence is at once a richly drawn portrait of the elegant lifestyles, luxurious brownstones, and fascinating culture of bygone New York society and a compelling look at the conflict between human passions and the social tribe that tries to control them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Little Truck Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59033091408207,"sku":"9780860680697","price":4.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/5492\/5391\/files\/9780860680697.jpg?v=1791355014","url":"https:\/\/littletruckbookshop.co.uk\/products\/the-age-of-innocence-by-edith-wharton","provider":"The Little Truck Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
