A review by betsygant
The Ambassadors (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) by Henry James

3.0

Truly, I wish I could learn to enjoy the "stream of consciousness" style; however, James navigated this type of writing remarkably well comparatively. I appreciated the inner reflection and internal conflict within Strether. I think we all at some point in our lives experience the isolation and the condition of alienation from a society not designed for us. This feeling of aloofness and yet a simultaneous desire to fit in causes a greater feeling of being an outsider. And yet, I think we are created to have this juxtaposition of feelings for a more spiritual reason. Looking forward to reading more psychological commentaries within novels by Henry James!
