Each time, you happen to me all over again

Talking through chapters 29 through 33 of The Age of Innocence

In today’s audio guide, I discuss the many many happenings of chapters 29-33 in The Age of Innocence—and continue to carefully avoid any spoilers for the final chapter.

I also swoon about the most romantic line in the whole novel, and maybe the most romantic line in any novel I’ve ever read.

Listen in for a plot summary, as well as a few little tidbits (including a bit of biography and some intertextual moments).

I cannot *wait* to discuss these chapters with you in this week’s guide.

See you in the comments!
