This book actually reminds me a little bit of Twilight. No vampires, though.

The dark horse of Austen-like novels, Age of Innocence makes you think differently about happy endings. Very introspective read.

Beautiful, sharp, witty and ironic. The Age of Innocence reminds me of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. Wharton explores a similar theme of passion and reality. Thankfully, it's not as tragic.
