Yesterday I watched the movie titled "The Age of Innocence" based on the novel by Edith Wharton (1920). Martin Scorsese directed the movie. It is about high society in New York during the 1870's and focuses on human relationships. It is very good. The novel won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize.
This is definitely a novel on my reading list. Wharton's style and use of English is very good. She writes in a descriptive way and the voice of her work is clear.
The movie was a bit slow in parts, however I very much enjoyed watching.
