A moving portrayal of the struggle between desire and duty in
nineteenth-century New York high societyNewland Archer, an eligible
young man of the establishment is about to announce his engagement
to May Welland, a pretty ingénue, when May's cousin, Countess
Olenska, is introduced into their circle. The Countess brings with
her an aura of European sophistication and a hint of scandal,
having left her husband and claimed her independence. Her sorrowful
eyes, her tragic worldliness and her air of unapproachability
attract the sensitive Newland and, almost against their will, a
passionate bond develops between them.But Archer's life has no
place for passion and, with society on the side of May and all she
stands for, he finds himself drawn into a bitter conflict between
love and duty.
