__The Age of Innocence__

Edith Wharton The age group I would say would probably be for adults and in that range. The language in this book is very hard and difficult. Sometimes I don't really understand what the story is talking about because it goes from one subject and problem to the other. Also it has a lot of different characters and gets a little overwhelming for me. I think it is average or hard to follow all of the events, they change a lot in the story and it's very hard to jump from one to the other without getting lost. Some of the new characters would be Mr. And Mrs. Archer and they love to gossip, they are very rich, but very kind. Their purpose in this story is telling all of the families the story of Archer's love life and how he met Miss May Welland. Some new events that are occurring in the story are Countess Olenska is coming to visit after a horrible marriage and was recently divorced. Some more are the Mingotts were sending out invitations for “ a formal dinner “ as they like to call it. And their words were “ To meet the Countess Olenska”. The guests were picked with boldness and discrimination and mostly the “ young married” couples. The unexpected event that was happening was on accident Archer agrees and hopes that Miss Olenska will get a divorce and had fallen down like a big bombshell. And the other plot twist is that Mrs. Beaufort was walking up Fifth Avenue in the afternoon with Miss Newland.
