Beautiful, beautiful book
This book filled me with agony, broke my heart, repaired it slightly, made me smile…. Then did it all again!
The characters are so fleshed out, even the women which seeing as how this was written by a man in 1880 was a pleasant surprise. Henry James you mastermind. I’ll have to read more of his works.
All I can say is justice for Pansy,,, she was my very favorite character along with Isabel Archer herself and maybe Henrietta Stackpole.
Such an interesting psychological study. I love a good book that has me analyzing the exact moments things went wrong for a character. I’m not sure what writers were on in the late 19th century but oh was it good.
That is all I have to say. Read this book if you have a decent attention span. The 623 pages are a bit numerous but lord is it worth it.
