The Innocents

Modern-day The Age of Innocence retelling.

If you're fond of classic tales reimagined in contemporary settings, "The Innocents" might just be for you. Francesca Segal takes you through a journey echoing Wharton's "The Age of Innocence", spun with modern threads. It's a thoughtful exploration of loyalty, love, and the pressures of societal expectations that could resonate deeply with you.

Description

WINNER OF THE COSTA FIRST NOVEL AWARD 2012 What if everything you'd ever wanted was no longer enough? Adam and Rachel are getting married at last. Childhood sweethearts whose lives and families have been intertwined for years; theirs is set to be the wedding of the year. But then Rachel's cousin Ellie makes an unexpected return to the family fold. Beautiful, reckless and troubled, Ellie represents everything that Adam has tried all his life to avoid - and everything that is missing from his world. As the long-awaited wedding approaches, Adam is torn between duty and temptation, security and freedom, and must make a choice that will break either one heart, or many.
