Synopsis

The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James is a profound psychological novel that explores freedom, identity, and the constraints of society through the journey of Isabel Archer — a spirited young American woman traveling through Europe. Eager to live life on her own terms, Isabel turns down conventional marriage offers in pursuit of independence and self-discovery. But when she inherits a fortune, her choices grow more complex, and her idealism is put to the test.Set against the rich backdrop of 19th-century Europe, the novel masterfully examines themes of manipulation, betrayal, and personal growth. With his signature depth and subtle irony, James crafts an unforgettable portrait of a woman caught between the desire for autonomy and the expectations of the world around her.
