Reading The Age of Innocence | Alexandria
Read The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton. Challenging marriage as destiny, The Age of Innocence exposes how social rituals mask deeper truths about desire and duty. Wharton's genius lies in showing that conformity isn't cowardice - it's often a radical act of self-preservation. Her portrait of gilded-age New York eerily mirrors today's curated social media facades.
