Classic: The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James
Synopsis: When Isabel Archer, a beautiful, spirited American, is brought to Europe by her wealthy Aunt Touchett, it is expected that she will soon marry. But Isabel, resolved to determine her own fate, does not hesitate to turn down two eligible suitors. She then finds herself irresistibly drawn to Gilbert Osmond, who, beneath his veneer of charm and cultivation, is cruelty itself.

ReplyDeleteLol. Thanks Andrea. ~Meg
DeleteI think I did read this one. I went through a classics phase, and I know I read one Henry James. I think this might have been it.

DeleteHad to share with you a quote that I have used during the #Challenge for the upcoming letter for T where I have been writing about hotels and inns. I am behind in reading all of your challenge posts since I started following you, but looking forward to catching up. Here is a quote I love and know you will too. "There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea." -Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady.
ReplyDeleteNice quote. Thanks for sharing that with me Stepheny. ~Meg
