The portrait of a lady  Cover Image Book Book

The portrait of a lady / Henry James.

Summary:

Isabel Archer-a beautiful, intelligent, and headstrong American woman newly endowed with wealth and embarked in Europe on a treacherous journey to self-knowledge-is delineated with a magnificence that is at once casual and tense with force and insight.  The characters with whom she is entangled are each rendered with a virtuosity that suggests dazzling imaginative powers, and the scene painting-in England and Italy-provides a continuous visual pleasure while always remaining crucial to the larger drama.
