Reviews
The first time I read [ The Age of Innocence ], when I was finished, I held it to my chest and thought, 'I want to write like this.', Traditionally, Henry James has always been placed slightly higher up the slope of Parnassus than Edith Wharton. But now that the prejudice against the female writer is on the wane, they look to be exactly what they are: giants, equals, the tutelary and benign gods of our American literature., What I love about Wharton--the Wharton who wrote The Age of Innocence --is her empathy and ambivalence., Edith Wharton is my favorite writer and her incisive indictments of the wealthy class she was a part of, are endlessly interesting to me. I also love her gorgeous descriptions., Only a few works of fiction can reasonably be called 'perfect,' and [Wharton's Ethan Frome ] is one of them. There's a crystalline purity to the prose, and a wintry sadness in the story. It gets deep in your bones., The Age of Innocence , by Edith Wharton, gets romance right. It gets love right and it's grounded and it's beautiful. It's deeply moving., There are only three or four American novelists who can be thought of as 'major,' and Edith Wharton is one., I generally try to avoid honorifics like 'best novel ever' or 'greatest American novel' and so on. But The Age of Innocence really is quite incredible, and, at the moment, I consider it the best novel I've ever read...it's a great book executed by a writer at the top of her game.

Synopsis
Winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize,The Age of Innocenceis an elegant, masterful portrait of desire and betrayal in old New York. With vivid power, Wharton evokes a time of gaslit streets, formal dances held in the ballrooms of stately brownstones, and society people "who dreaded scandal more than disease." This is Newland Archer's world as he prepares to many the docile May Welland. Then, suddenly, the mysterious, intensely nonconformist Countess Ellen Olenska returns to New York after a long absence, turning Archer's world upside down.This classic Wharton tale of thwarted love is an exuberantly comic and profoundly moving look at the passions of the human heart, as well as a literary achievement of the highest order., Winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize, The Age of Innocence is an elegant, masterful portrait of desire and betrayal in old New York -- now with a new introduction from acclaimed author Colm T ib n for the novel's centennial.

BUT the discs were still undamaged so I messaged the seller to tell them I was still going to keep the item I just wanted to let them know about the issue and they messaged me back and offered me 20% off the order to make up for the inconvenience. Great seller. Would purchase from them again.
