description: A marvelous comedy of manners and morals, The Age of Innocence is a literary achievement of the highest order. It is a tale of thwarted love which is both exuberantly comic and profoundly moving. The San Francisco Examiner says, "Wharton's characters leap out from the pages and....become very real. You know their hearts, souls and yearnings, and the price they pay for those yearnings." (audio book)
