I am very sad.

*I read this in the Edith Wharton Omnibus. The Age of Innocence in this book is only 274 pages, so I picked an edition with a close page count.

This book has fascinated me through three readings of it. And I don't typically reread books. Fascinating characters, who invoke in readers a wide variety of thoughts and feelings, this is one of those reads that tells you a lot more about you than the quality of the book itself. If you can convince yourself that this book is more than a bunch of stuffy, old fashioned, unspoken drama, you might find some interesting thoughts about relationships, culture and society, and how we conform to or reject our duties and our feelings.
