The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton

I need to get back to current fiction! After reading two classics, I'm ready for a change. The Age of Innocence was a book club selection, and I guess it was "good for me".... kind of like exercising when I really don't want to. Yes, the characters are well developed and the writing is good. But I struggled to find one character I liked! And the ending.... well, I just didn't understand why the main character did what he did!! I wanted to reach into the book and shake him. The book was made into a movie, and I'm planning to rent it to see what I think of that. I hope they changed the ending. -June
