Edith Wharton

Zenith Maple Leaf Press

In a world ruled by tradition, the heart dares to dream of freedom.
Set in the glittering yet rigid world of 1870s New York high society, The Age of Innocence follows Newland Archer, a successful young lawyer engaged to the beautiful and proper May Welland. His carefully ordered life is turned upside down when he meets Countess Ellen Olenska, May's unconventional cousin, whose charm and independence challenge the rules of their social world.

Through elegant prose and razor-sharp observation, Edith Wharton explores themes of love versus duty, personal freedom versus societal expectation, and the quiet sacrifices demanded by tradition.

Winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, The Age of Innocence remains one of the most enduring novels of manners, offering a poignant critique of a society where appearances matter more than truth.

"A brilliant study of love, loss, and the silent compromises of life."
