Description

Olive Chancellor and Basil Ransom fight for Verena Tarrant’s voice and future in a Boston of suffrage speeches and private hunger. Ideals against desire. Spoken as James when a movement and a marriage want the same woman.

Author

Henry James (1843–1916) is among the supreme novelists in English — an American who made Europe his stage and consciousness his subject. In The Portrait of a Lady, The Ambassadors, and The Wings of the Dove he traced Americans abroad through drawing rooms, secrets, and moral choice with unmatched psychological precision. James wrote sentences that think: long, exacting, and alive to every shade of feeling between people.
