Widely regarded as one of Edith Wharton's greatest achievements, The Age of Innocence is not only subtly satirical, but also a sometimes dark and disturbing comedy of manners in its exploration of the 'eternal triangle' of love. Set against the backdrop of upper-class New York society during the 1870s, the author's combination of powerful prose combined with a thoroughly researched and meticulous evocation of the manners and style of the period, has delighted readers since the novel's first publication in 1920. In 1921 The Age of Innocence achieved a double distinction - it won the Pulitzer Prize and it was the first time this prestigious award had been won by a woman author.

评分真實不能被說被做甚至被想,而隻能通過符號來錶達
评分哎呦臥槽,鼕馬NE
评分Very witty and sarcastic writing. Moving and sentimental as well. Newland and Ellen have been living on my mind since 11 years ago when I first read it. One of my favorite novels in English language.
评分I believe I could go on and on and still I wouldn't be able to convey half of this book's greatness or how much I love it.
