He could now make his peace with America - and he could now collect and unify the work of a lifetime' - Leon Edel in "The Life of Henry James".

I might have liked this book if it weren't so damn depressing. People lying and hiding secrets from each other. People hurt so badly. Selfishness. Maybe I should give it a better rating because it read like Henry James wanted it to but I had such a hard time finishing it.
