From: bookie Category: Books Date: 13 March 2007 Time: 11:40 AM Review: Charming and simply written. So basic I thought it had been revised and abridged. In facy James did revise it later in his life, and there are two versions, the later more typically Jamesian. A romance in the style of Stendhal or someone, and a ripping read. American are can-do, Europeans devious snobs. Nowt has changed.
