Publisher's Summary

Edith Wharton's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel

Newland Archer is a young lawyer, a member of New York's high society, and engaged to be married to May Welland.

Countess Ellen Olenska is May's cousin, and wants a divorce from the Polish nobleman she married. Intelligent and beautiful, she comes back to New York where she tries to fit into the high society life she had before her marriage. Her family and former friends, however, are shocked by the idea of divorce within their social circle, and she finds herself snubbed by her own class.

When Ellen and Newland fall in love, will they be able to choose between passion and conventions?
