This is a fictionalized account of a specific period, 1895 to 1899, in the life of Henry James.

It was beautifully written and I was pleased to discover upon doing some of my own research that the author stuck to the facts. Because of this book I became fascinated with the contributions and working and living style of James.

I looked into a number of the reference material about him and really enjoyed getting a deeper understanding about what he meant to the culture at the time, as well as in the modern day, as so many of his novels and stories have been made into films, which our library also have in its collection, “The Innocents,” “The Heiress,” “Daisy Miller,” and “Wings of a Dove.”
