Summary: James at his best!
Comment: ... Personally, I think that the movie was not as bad as people say it is, but the book is much better all the same. The Portrait is not for everybody. If you like Victorian era and its writers, if you love Edwardian age and its geniuses, then you'll love this book.
The Portrait is about a young American woman, Isabel Archer, whose destiny seems to be one of the most unforgettable ones in the history of literature. She stands before a choice, not wanting to lose her own identity, she struggles with both her husband and society to free herself from the chains of morality and emotional torture that she was used to while being married to Osmond.
I think that The Portrait of a Lady is James's best novel. He surely showed the world the true beauty of language and its colorful expressions.
