The smart and strong-willed Isabel Archer is brought to Europe by her well-off aunt Touchett to enter wedlock. Resolved to navigate her own destiny, she unabashedly turns down two eligible suitors who offer their wealth and devotion to her. Amongst this, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to a handsome, cruel charmer. Renowned as a masterpiece among James's early writings, this novel portrays the stark contrast between naivety and high spirits of the new world and deception and wisdom of the old. It also profoundly counters the themes of individualiberty, duty, treachery and sexuality.
