O Magazine Pick of 25 Books Every Woman Should Read in Her Lifetime
When Isabel Archer, a young American woman with looks, wit, and imagination, arrives in Europe, she sees the world as "a place of brightness, of free expression, of irresistible action." She turns aside from suitors who offer her their wealth and devotion to follow her own path. But that way leads to disillusionment and a future as constricted as "a dark narrow alley with a dead wall at the end." In one of the most moving conclusions in modern fiction, Isabel makes her final choice.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“The Portrait of a Lady is entirely successful in giving one the sense of having met somebody far too radiantly good for this world.” —Rebecca West, British author, journalist, and literary critic
“How did this nineteenth-century male writer create Isabel Archer, one of the most intriguing women characters in all of literature, capturing her journey from buoyant but naïve girl to wiser, more compassionate grown-up? Henry James was an American-born genius, in love with Europe, and fascinated by the interaction of the Old World (Europe) and the New (America). Where these sensibilities clashed, James found drama, wisdom, tenderness. Few write about the path from openhearted to slightly more seasoned than this master stylist.” —O, The Oprah Magazine
Wanda McCaddon's distinguished British accent provides a smooth narration of one of Henry James's most-loved novels. —AudioFile
