A review by robingustafson
The Golden Bowl by Henry James

3.0

I started this novel in print. I give sole credit to Juliet Stevenson's narration of the audio version with getting me to the finish line. In a novel about concealment and secrets it often felt like I was in the dark, trying to understand the layers of deception, and who knew what when. I think that is why I felt such an affinity for Bob Assingham -- the husband of Fanny. They have long conversations where poor Bob has no idea what Fanny is talking about.
