The Age Of Innocence Book Review. Book review / age of not so much innocence: The age of innocence is simply the best work by director martin scorcese and is deservedly entitled to the numerous accolades it has received.
I was upset with newland because had he read middlemarch, perhaps he would have made some different decisions based on the experiences and marriages of dorothea and mr. As with all her new york novels, the age of innocence makes an ironic commentary on the cruelties and hypocrisies of manhattan society in the years before, during and after the great war. The age of innocence, by comparison, is a much more detailed story, one that focused on a cast of interesting characters, who regardless of their likability, struck me as incredibly realistic.
