Newland Archer, an upstanding attorney who secretly longs for a more passionate life, is engaged to the lovely but ordinary socialite May Welland. Newland resigns himself to a life of quiet complacency, but when May's unconventional cousin returns to New York amid social and sexual scandal, Newland risks everything for a chance at true love. The Age of Innocence is a spellbinding portrait of hidden romance and regret in 1870s high society. |
