Publisher's Summary
The Portrait of a Lady tells the compelling and ultimately tragic tale of a beautiful young American woman's encounter with European sophistication. Set principally in England and Italy, the story follows Isabel Archer's fortunes as a variety of admirers vie for her hand. Her choice will be crucial, and she is not wanting for advice, whether from the generous-spirited Ralph Touchett or the charming Madame Merle.
The Portrait of a Lady was an immediate success upon publication; it remains the most popular of James' longer works and is generally regarded as the masterpiece of his early period.

Brilliant performance
I’ve never been able to read a Henry James novel. I think he is overly pedantic in his descriptions. However, hearing this reading by Juliet Stevenson, I found myself absorbed by the performance. She is certainly one of my very favourite readers.
