Helpful Score: 1

In interesting look at the rich of New York in the late 19th century. For the most part, I did not like the characters (more because of the mores of the day, than because of any unusual character flaws), but did appreciate the historic view. Am now reading about Jennie Churchill (who was American, but living in Europe) in the same time period and find the comparisons between the two worlds pretty much the same as described in The Age of Innocence. Worth reading, but perhaps not such "good" old days?
