The Age of Innocence
The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton was very difficult for me to read, but it was a good novel. I felt that this novel was very similar to Wharton's other book Ethan Frome. In The Age of Innocence, Archer falls in love with his fiance's cousin, comparable to Ethan falling in love with Mattie in Ethan Frome. The plot lines were similar and I think that I'm going to write my paper comparing the novels, or on Wharton's writing style !!!!

Really? You thought they were similar? I found them very different.. other than the falling in love with a cousin bit. Yes, it is a very difficult book to read... I didn't like it nearly as much as Ethan Frome or House of Mirth.
Edith Wharton seems to have a thing for love triangles, huh? I think its too confusing, personally. But congrats on finishing!
