ellipsis914 's review for:
The Age of Innocence
by Edith Wharton
I probably read this for the first time 25 years ago, and I just finished it for the second time. Wow. What a book. When I read it the first time I was swept away by the romance, the secret passion. When I read it this week I was completely absorbed by Wharton's social critique. It's subtle, but comes out in this slow, smart reveal that finally just blew me away. Ok fine and the love story still got me. Poor Newland. Poor Ellen. Poor May.
