Nov 21, 2010 The Age of Innocence is, however, far more than a book about what's proper and what's not. The characters, especially the three principals, Newland Archer, May Welland, and Ellen Olenska, are highly complex people. There really is very little in this book that is clear-cut, despite the wishes of its characters for life to be so.

Through their words, mannerism, and motivations, Wharton makes her characters into fully formed individuals.

Mar 03, 2020 The Age of Innocence is a brutal and elegiac novel with an ending that hurts, but pleasantly so, like a pressed bruise. For all of its emotional heft, when it was first published The Age of Innocence was marketed as a nostalgic, escapist story.

Nov 19, 2019 Book Review- Age of Innocence. Author-Edith Wharton. Age of Innocence reminds me of Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro in many ways .
