tamsynlparker 's review for:

The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
4.25

Thoroughly enjoyed this book, it’s incredibly easy to read (for classic literature), characters who are all less than perfect, the age old question of whether you should sacrifice your own happiness in lieu of others. 

Set in the gilded age when Wharton herself was a debutant, you can feel in her writing both the distain she has for the period but also the reverence. The book is at times satirical and a lot of the time witty! 

I will 💯 be reading more of her work! Highly recommend
