I tried to read this years ago, but couldn't bear to finish it. I tried it again, and it was just as terrible as I remembered.

I've never been a Henry James fan. I can't say that I liked this much better than anything else of his I've read. Honestly, though, what I disliked most about this one wasn't the writing. It's more that the social mores of the time period angered me. So, really, I'm giving the situation a 2-star rat...
