The Portrait of a Lady

“The Portrait of a Lady” by Henry James is a deeply psychological and elegantly written novel that follows the spirited Isabel Archer, a young American woman seeking independence and purpose in Europe. As she navigates wealth, love, and betrayal, Isabel’s idealism is tested by the complexities of society and the darker motives of those around her. With emotional depth and masterful prose, James examines freedom, selfhood, and the constraints placed on women in the 19th century. A subtle, powerful exploration of character and choice.
"The Portrait of a Lady" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1881.
