About this audiobook
Newland Archer is engaged to the perfect society debutante, but his world is upended by the return of the scandalous Countess Olenska. He is torn between the safety of convention and the electrifying possibility of a life lived authentically. The rigid social codes of 1870s New York act as a silent antagonist, slowly strangling his chance at happiness. It is a sophisticated tragedy about the roads not taken and the heavy price of propriety.
