Funny, romantic, gently satiric and sharply observed, THE INNOCENTS is an irresistible novel of manners for the 21st century and heralds the arrival of a major new literary talent.

A dazzling contemporary recasting of Edith Wharton’s classic novel THE AGE OF INNOCENCE, Segal’s debut portrays modern-day Jewish life with both wit and empathy, guiding us effortlessly through a contemporary cultural milieu whose social rules, both spoken and unspoken, are just as claustrophobic as those of 19th-century New York.
