Summary

The Golden Bowl (Book 1) as you haven't seen it before -- in a remarkable illustrated edition. 
In the heart of London, Prince Amerigo, a charming but penniless Italian nobleman, prepares to marry Maggie Verver, a young American heiress with a generous heart and an even wealthier father. To the world, their union is perfect—a blend of old-world aristocracy and new-world fortune. But beneath the surface, an unspoken past lingers. 
Before Maggie, there was Charlotte Stant—Maggie’s closest friend and the Prince’s former lover. When Charlotte reappears, the past does not stay buried. As Amerigo walks the grand streets of London, haunted by the choices he has made, Charlotte is never far away—a silent presence, a temptation, a secret unspoken. 
Meanwhile, Adam Verver, Maggie’s devoted father, has dreams of his own. A collector of rare and priceless treasures, he treats the world like his museum—acquiring beauty, art, and perhaps, even the happiness of his only daughter. But what happens when the very people he trusts most begin collecting secrets of their own? 
As James weaves a tale of desire, deception, and the delicate balance between love and betrayal, the stage is set for a slow, silent unraveling. Will Maggie remain in blissful ignorance, or is the first crack in her golden world about to appear?
