hoperu 's review for:
The Portrait of a Lady
by Henry James
I suppose it is a sort of heresy for a former English major to say this, but I honestly didn't think this was that good. James' prose is dense and convoluted and at times impenetrable. It made me see why writers like Hemingway were so amazing when they first arrived. I never felt as if I understood Isabel and could never see what everyone else saw in her. The first half of the book took forever.
Maybe it is just that I encountered this at the wrong time in my life?
