About this listen
Book 1 of "The Age of Innocence" by Edith Wharton.
In this episode, Kristen and Summer tackle The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton, a novel brimming with societal constraints, forbidden love, and the suffocating expectations of 1870s New York. They break down the tangled web of Newland Archer’s inner turmoil, his engagement to the perfectly proper May Welland, and his growing obsession with the unconventional Countess Olenska. With sharp insights and a healthy dose of frustration, they discuss the novel’s rich yet complex prose, the stifling world of high society, and whether anyone in this story is actually happy. Full of passionate takes, dramatic revelations, and a few rants along the way.
Next episode we will be reading book 2 of "The Age of Innocence" by Edith Wharton.
