OK - while I didn't vote for it, I do have this book on my "Must read before I die" list.

The description mentions nothing of any sort of romance.

I don't know how much of a romance it is as I haven't read it, but this is part of the description I got from Amazon:

The Age of Innocence is the haunting story of the struggle between love and duty in Gilded Age New York told through the eyes of Newland Archer and his betrothed, May Welland. A young lawyer on the rise, Newland Archer needs only a society wife to solidify his position, but finds himself torn after he meets and falls deeply in love with May’s disgraced cousin, the Countess Olenska.

It was also classified as a romance at Amazon which may or may not mean anything.
