<b>Blurb</b><br /><br />Winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize, The Age of Innocence is Edith Wharton’s masterful portrait of desire and betrayal during the sumptuous Golden Age of Old New York, a time when society people “dreaded scandal more than disease.”<br /><br />This is Newland Archer’s world as he prepares to marry the beautiful but conventional May Welland. But when the mysterious Countess Ellen Olenska returns to New York after a disastrous marriage, Archer falls deeply in love with her. Torn between duty and passion, Archer struggles to make a decision that will either courageously define his life—or mercilessly destroy it.<br /><br /><br /><br />Join Smitha and I as we tackle this wonderful piece of literature. <br/><br/> </div> <div> <div class="right"> <a onclick="$('comment_body_usertext').value = '<i>Srividya wrote: "Blurb\n\nWinner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize, The Age of Innocence is Edith Wharton’s masterful portrait of desire and betrayal during the sumptuous Golden Age of Old New York, a time when society peop..."</i>\n\n' + $('comment_body_usertext').value;new Effect.Highlight('comment_body_usertext')" class="smallText" href="#comment_form">reply</a> | <a class="flag smallText greyText" rel="nofollow" title="Flag this Comment as inappropriate." href="/flagged/new?resource_id=149706831&resource_type=Comment&return_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.goodreads.com%2Ftopic%2Fshow%2F18067513-buddy-read---the-age-of-innocence">flag</a> </div> </div> <br class="clear" /> </div> <div class="comment u-anchorTarget" id="comment_149708550"> <div id="comment_number_2" class="u-anchorTarget"></div> <div class="brownBox "> <div class="left commentHeaderLeft"> <strong>message 2:</strong> by <span class="commentAuthor"> <a title="Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid)" href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/27599745-srividya-vijapure">Srividya</a> </span> <span class="newCommentsText"> (new) </span> </div> <div class="right" title="Mar 31, 2016 09:35PM"> <a rel="nofollow" href="#comment_149708550">Mar 31, 2016 09:35PM</a> </div> <br class="clear"/> </div> <div class="mediumText reviewText" style="margin-top: 10px"> <a class="commenterIcon js-tooltipTrigger tooltipTrigger" data-resource-id="27599745" data-resource-type="User" data-extra="Group.135241" title="Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid)" href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/27599745-srividya-vijapure"><img alt="Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid)" src="https://images.gr-assets.com/users/1499431918p1/27599745.jpg" /></a> I started reading this one but with so many 'where is my papa' interruptions, I think I read only the first para 10 times!
