From my first book, I selected The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton, wiki article. It won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize, which is one of the reasons I selected it.  I’ve heard so many good things, I thought I should read it.

The writing style is very descriptive but I had no problems reading it.  Unfortunately I found I really did not like Newland Archer, the male protagonist.  Not liking one of the main characters does make a book a little difficult to read.

I am quite glad I’ve read the book, though I don’t think I’ll be reading it again anytime soon.
