The Golden Bowl - (Dover Thrift Editions: Classic Novels) by Henry James (Paperback)

This captivating novel by Henry James explores the complexities of money, class, desire, and adultery in two marriages between an American heiress and an impoverished Italian prince, and her widowed father and his former mistress.

With a keen eye for character psychology, James delves into the illusions that unite people, the deceits that keep them together, and the way trust can become a form of denial.

Through richly detailed prose, he examines the collision of European and American cultures in a privileged, claustrophobic backdrop.

This masterful work is a must-read for fans of James's classic novels and anyone interested in character studies and social commentary.
