corrompido 's review for:

The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James
3.0

Interesting book, although I had a hard time getting through it. It was extremely well written and I felt it was worth ready since I had never read any James books before. Not sure if it was the style of time, but I had a hard time connecting with or even really caring about any of the characters, which is why I found it a hard slog through the book.

Beyond the writing, which really was great in places, I enjoyed the view of American expats in the 19th century kicking around Europe.
