Step into the gilded world of New York's high society at the end of the 19th century, where appearances are everything and the heart's desires must often be suppressed. In The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton masterfully explores the tension between duty and passion, as Newland Archer, a young lawyer engaged to the perfect socialite, finds himself irresistibly drawn to the mysterious and unconventional Countess Ellen Olenska. As Archer grapples with his conflicting loyalties, Wharton weaves a poignant tale of love, sacrifice, and the price of conforming to society's rigid expectations. Listen to this timeless classic and immerse yourself in the drama and elegance of a bygone era.
