The Portrait of a Lady is the story of a spirited American young girl named Isabel Archer, who "affronts her destiny" and finds it overwhelming. She inherits a large amount of money and subsequently becomes the victim of Machiavellian scheming by two American expatriates. The story was set in Europe, mostly England and Italy like other novels of JHenry James. This novel reflects James's interest in the differences between the New World and the Old. It also treats in a profound way the themes of personal freedom, responsibility, and betrayal.
Enjoy reading!
