Wheaton Library To Host 'The Age Of Innocence' Virtual Book Discussion

Press release from Wheaton Public Library:

Thursday, July 2, 2020 - 7:00pm to 8:00pm

Join us as we discuss The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton, available for free as an eBook or audiobook through Gutenberg.org. Into the narrow social world of New York in the 1870s comes Countess Ellen Olenska, surrounded by shocked whispers about her failed marriage to a rich Polish Count. A woman who leaves her husband can never be accepted in polite society. Newland Arthur is engaged to young May Welland, but the beautiful and mysterious Countess needs his help. He becomes her friend and defender, but friendship with an unhappy, lonely woman is a dangerous path for a young man to follow - especially a young man who is soon to be married.
