The Age of Innocence
Ages 12–+ · 2022

Written by Edith Wharton
A well-born but penniless woman must marry money before her place in society slips away.
Lily Bart is beautiful, well-born and nearly penniless, and in the glittering New York society of the early 1900s her only security is a wealthy husband. But a romantic indiscretion and her own hesitations set off a chain of social disasters that carry her steadily downward. A sharp portrait of money, class and the price of reputation.
