I don‘t often reread nonfiction but this was a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read for me several years ago. Talked my book club into reading it & the excuse to reread it is a definite bonus. Two chapters in & it is every bit as good this read through as it was the first time. As much a biography, if you will, of A Portrait of a Lady as it is Henry James, this book offers a fascinating analysis of the author, the book, & the world in which it was created.
What a lovely set of snail mail papers ♥️. Thank you @iread2much It‘s a timely reminder that I do owe you a letter! Be in touch very soon. Take care Xxx
pickI think everyone knows this a retelling of Huckelberry Finn, from the perspective of James/Jim who was a slave. Instantly engrossing and engaging. It‘s a hard story to handle but there‘s also much to appreciate. The intelligence, and nuance of James who was such a well depicted character, I felt like I knew him and I enjoyed his company very much. A must read for everyone
