Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Francie's fortunes are narrated with ... incomparable ease, grace, and brilliancy ...."
—The Nation

"The critical faculty hesitates before the magnitude of Mr. Henry James's work. ... He has mastered the country, his domain, not wild indeed, but full of romantic glimpses, of deep shadows and sunny places. There are no secrets left within his range. He has disclosed them as they should be disclosed—that is, beautifully."
—Joseph Conrad

"... A novelist he is not, after the old fashion, or after any fashion but his own."
—William Dean Howells

“Nowhere has Mr. James been more successful… an exceedingly careful and artistic piece of work.”
—Literary World (Boston)

“A delicious Parisian bonbon… simply delicious.”
—William James

“Marked throughout by real genius.”
—The Spectator
