Publisher's Summary
The Portrait of a Lady tells the compelling and ultimately tragic tale of a beautiful young American woman's encounter with European sophistication. Set principally in England and Italy, the story follows Isabel Archer's fortunes as a variety of admirers vie for her hand. Her choice will be crucial, and she is not wanting for advice, whether from the generous-spirited Ralph Touchett or the charming Madame Merle.
The Portrait of a Lady was an immediate success upon publication; it remains the most popular of James' longer works and is generally regarded as the masterpiece of his early period.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

♥Breaking, brilliant, a masterpiece ....
Superbly narrated... including US accents. The absolute necessity for a wise and liberal education of women, interacting with the world, from their birth and for wise and empowered mothers... Not even courageous intelligence and especially not money are enough to achieve freedom in a patriarchal world.
