I find Henry James a frustrating author - his topics and time period are those that I relish yet I don't like his books. This book, for example, had all the makings of a great story but it bored me when it didn't anger me. I thought up several possible ending for the story only to find that the actual conclusion was dull and predictable. I have heard James praised for his female characters but, to me, they were all objectionable in one way or another. ( ) Le complot de Kate Croy et de Merton Denshr, qui s'aiment en secret, pour s'emparer de l'âme et de la fortune de Milly, jeune américaine promise à une fin précoce. Tout finira à Venise, symbole de mort et de corruption. Mais touchés par la grâce de Milly, la colombe, Kate et Merton finiront par renoncer à son héritage et à chercher à l'égaler dans le sublime. Le roman où l'art d'Henry James atteint son sommet. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
