The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
5.0

The Age of Innocence is fantastic! Wharton’s ability to portray the essence of Old New York is uncanny. All the mannerisms, the social stigmas, the dress and the style — she does it so well without it ever seeming excessive. She captures the world in such a way that despite the pitfalls of that world you just want to travel to that time and breath it all in.
