The Age of Innocence e-bog

An aristocrat lawyer, a cloistered lady, and a disgraced cousin...

When Ellen arrives from Europe, fleeing her wrecked and ruined marriage to a Count, her wayward and wordy nature quickly catches the eye of Newland Archer.

But Archer has only ever known one love. And one way to behave.

As his moral compass is pushed and pruned to the liking of the evocative and eventful Ellen, he soon learns the depths and dangers of love.

Weaving a daring and dramatic portrait of life and love in 19th century New York, ‘The Age of Innocence’ is the perfect love-triangle tale for fans of ´The Summer I Turned Pretty´ and ´To All the Boys I've Loved Before´.

The first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature, Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was an American novelist and short story writer. Her work spans ‘The Age of Innocence’, ‘The House of Mirth’, and ‘Ethan Frome’ – all of which were widely adapted for the screen in the 20th century. Inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in 1996, Wharton remains today a huge influence on American English literature, culture, and film.
