» 11 more No current Talk conversations about this book. Really interesting story about the ways in which people underestimate and take advantage of each other, and the way relationships can be permanently ruined. Well written and entertaining, but so painful to watch the heroine be used and abused by everyone she knows for so long. It felt like it took a lot longer to read. Excellent though, would recommend.

( ) askannakarenina | Sep 16, 2020 | Very dense slow read for me. I thought the character development was genius. But the plot just didn't warrant the density. It could be summarized in 3-5 sentences. (  ) technodiabla | Dec 19, 2019 | no reviews | add a review

"When timid and plain Catherine Sloper acquires a dashing and determined suitor, her father, convinced that the young man is nothing more than a fortune-hunter, decides to put a stop to their romance. Torn between a desire to win her father's approval and passion for the first man who has ever declared his love for her, Catherine faces an agonizing choice, and eventually becomes all too aware of the restrictions that others seek to place on her freedom. James's novel interweaves the public and private faces of nineteenth-century New York society, and is also a study of innocence destroyed."--BOOK JACKET. No library descriptions found. |
