Description
“The Age of Innocence” is a love triangle story and, at the same time, a sweeping portrait of New York high society in the late 1870s. Newland Archer is an ambitious, respectable attorney who leads an ordinary life and is planning to marry the beautiful May Welland, while deep down he longs for passion amid his routine days. But then May’s cousin returns from Europe to New York: Countess Ellen Olenska, after a public scandal involving her husband. Ellen Olenska is strikingly beautiful; her entire appearance is shrouded in secrets, and for conservative New York society her behavior and views are unacceptable. Newland is captivated by Ellen—he falls in love with her…
