Summary
Milly Theale is a young, beautiful, and fabulously wealthy American. When she arrives in London and meets the equally beautiful but impoverished Kate Croy, they form an intimate friendship. But nothing is as it seems: materialism, romance, self-delusion, and ultimately fatal illness insidiously contaminate the glamorous social whirl.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Tedious
I found this a real slog, only offset by Juliet Stevenson’s perfect narration. The Portrait of a Lady is a much better work.

I always choose Juliet Stevenson if I can
This book is unbelievable in its complexity and its attention to detail. I rewind all the time, if you miss a word you can miss out on something key. I just love Juliet Stevenson’s voice and her pace. For me her reading Henry James is the perfect combination.

Slow & wordy
Not for the faint-hearted. A great story with some superb writing but it is slow. The characters take long- windedness & never saying directly what they mean to the extreme which takes some patience from the listener/reader.

Too obscure and tedious.
Did not finish it. The reading was good but the material Juliet had to read was boring.
