The Age of Innocence

Such an adorable surprise! It started a bit aloof but soon I was fully immersed in the hipocrisy, the families discussing each other's lives and influencing their futures, the love expressed and surprisingly not obvious as other triangles could have been - I acknowledge that to being a woman writer, so subtle and delicate yet deep and clear. Newland and that ending, Ellen and her dignity, May and her bovine mood - and yet! ... really gave me a lovely afternoon.
