Wharton’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel set in upper class New York City. Newland Archer, gentleman lawyer and heir to one of New York City’s best families, is happily anticipating a highly desirable marriage to the sheltered and beautiful May Welland.

This novel won the first ever Pulitzer awarded to a woman.
