It was Edith Wharton in the prosperous New York golden age (a golden age when people "feared scandal more than disease The Fear") is a superb portrait of desire and betrayal.This is the world where Newland Archer prepares to marry the beautiful but traditional May Welland.

Tormented between duty and passion, Archer struggled to make a decision, either to define his life bravely or destroy it mercilessly.
