Book Reviews of The Age of Innocence (Oxford World's Classics)
Book Review: A Rich World
Summary: 5 Stars
An engrossing world depicted so masterly I can still see the paintings on the walls, the flowers on the piano and feel the thick carpet under my feet as I enter the Wellands' drawing room. Or, I can feel the bohemian untidiness and comfort of Countess Olenska's sitting quarters. More than that, one can hear hearts beating wildly and breath sucked in in an emotional startle. Edith Wharton is a master artist and the Age of Innocence is deep and thought provoking for what it evokes about the ravages of time, the restraints of duty and the incomprehensible logic of the human heart. It is also a perfect window into the class and culture of New York's elite at the turn of the century.
