lizzielee 's review for:

The Aspern Papers by Henry James
4.0
dark mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Gripping, leaves much to your own pondering. The narrator has a great well of feeling, but James writes economically. Most of all I was completely transported to this Venetian house through changing seasons.
