About this audiobook
The Age of Innocence is a refined and powerful classic of American literature, set within the elegant but restrictive world of upper-class New York society in the 1870s. The novel follows Newland Archer, a young lawyer engaged to the proper and admired May Welland, whose carefully arranged life is unsettled by the arrival of Countess Ellen Olenska, a woman separated from her husband and marked by scandal. As Newland is drawn toward Ellen's independence, intelligence, and emotional honesty, he begins to question the codes of duty, respectability, marriage, and social appearance that govern his world. Beneath its polished manners and beautiful settings, the novel reveals the quiet cruelty of social judgment and the sacrifices demanded by convention.
