"Se il ricorso della data è più di una semplice coincidenza - e per quanto mi riguarda ne sono certo - se ne deve arguire che la strana donna comparsa per due volte lungo il viale nel giorno della vigilia dei Morti, o era un fantasma o, cosa più probabile e preoccupante insieme, una donna in carne ed ossa invasata da una maliarda". Edith Wharton fu scrittrice di trame di spettri che appaiono nel lucore lunare, su di un ponte inumidito dal freddo notturno.

Story0
Uscito nel 1920, "L'età dell'innocenza" vale alla sua autrice, Edith Wharton, il premio Pulitzer: sarà la prima donna a vederselo assegnare. Il libro è una critica spietata alla convenzionalità dell'alta società newyorchese: una vera aristocrazia immobiliare in cui le famiglie sono le stesse da generazioni, le donne un ornamento e gli uomini non fanno nulla neppure quando fingono di andare in ufficio. I ricchi personaggi dell'"Età dell'innocenza" vivono tutti nello stesso quadrilatero di strade, e d'estate si spostano tutti quanti a Newport.
