"Au temps de l'innocence" by Edith Wharton is a novel published in 1920. Set in 1870s New York high society, it follows Newland Archer, a gentleman lawyer anticipating marriage to the beautiful May Welland.

As Newland grows fascinated by Ellen's bold defiance of social conventions, he must choose between duty and desire in a world where appearances matter more than truth.
