Milly Theale, who would seem to have the world at her feet, is fatally ill. Eager for life and love, she embarks on a European adventure, warming to the admiration of new friends Kate Croy and Merton Densher. She should be wary, however, for Kate sees in Milly a chance to make some money.

About the Author:
Henry James (1843-1916) was born in New York City but spent his adult life in London, taking British citizenship a year before his death. Well known for his stories, novels and criticism, James was one of the most celebrated authors of his time. James's best-known works include the novels The Wings of the Dove and The Portrait of a Lady, and the novella The Turn of the Screw.
Review:
`Henry James is as solitary in the history of the novel as Shakespeare in the history of poetry.' Graham Greene `The critical faculty hesitates before the magnitude of Mr Henry James's work. His books stand on my shelves in a place whose accessibility proclaims the habit of frequent communion [...] Mr. Henry James is the historian of fine consciences.' Joseph Conrad
