bobbo49 's review for:
The Portrait of a Lady
by Henry James
An interesting perspective on a "modern" woman's choice in relationships, written in the late 19th century. On the one hand, the rebellious central character (having inherited a fortune) chooses to marry a man who fits none of the criteria of her upwardly mobile circle; on the other hand, when she ends up in an unhappy marriage with an overbearing husband, she nonetheless feels compelled to stay in it. Character development isn't up to the standards of current fiction, but the story is well told and well paced.
