A review by katymvt
The Great Short Novels of Henry James by Henry James
3.0
Madame de Mauves, Daisy Miller and an International Episode all dealt with intercontinental romances and I found them boring.
The Siege of London was sort of in the same vein, but I found myself being drawn into the story and the characters.
Lady Barberina was depressing.
The Author of Beltraffio was odd, but interesting. The characters, for the most part seemed to be a little silly.
The Aspern Papers was delightful. Twists and turns to an ending that you don't suspect.
The Pupil was also a bit depressing and frustrating, but very well-written
The Turn of the Screw was absolutely magnficient (though the ending not quite what I would have liked).
I couldn't finish The Beast of the Jungle.
