Strikingly modern in its subject and narrative voice, this 1897 novel centers on a child's view of divorce. James' characteristic subtlety and dark humor complement his timeless tale of human nature.

About the Author, Henry James

Henry James was a master at tracing the social boundaries of the Gilded Age -- between Old and New World, Europe and America, desire and convention, men and women. He brought an invaluably clear-eyed, and critical, sensibility to America's evolving cultural mores.
