Touto knihou daly autorky vzniknout románu na hranici krajní originality. Příběh začíná koncem listopadu 1998, kdy se jistá australská rodina, že zachrání svou dceru Ruth, která se stala terčem zájmu indického guru. Zdrcená a vyděšená rodina uposlechne rady investovat značnou finanční částku do služeb amerického specialisty na sekty, Johna Waterse. „Tři malé krůčky,“ říká poté, co se podíval Ruth do očí a označil je za odhodlané… „do čtyřiadvaceti hodin by mohlo být po všem.“ o dva dny později, uprostřed australské buše, dochází k pomalému posunu v rozložení sil mezi psychologem a jeho klientkou. Slíbený návrat k pořádku umožňuje cestu k nádhernému chaosu. Střídavě máme možnost naslouchat hlasu Johna Waterse i Ruth a vyslechnout tak oba názory na proces „deprogramování“. To, co začíná jako duchovní bitva o podstatu víry, se mění v erotický a burácející příběh sexuální posedlosti, která dožene Johna i Ruth až do vztahu, jaký ani jeden z nich nechtěl.

[ Penguin Readers Level 3 ] When Isabel Archer, a young American woman with looks, wit, and imagination, arrives in Europe, she sees the world as `a place of brightness, of free expression, of irresistible action'. She turns aside from suitors who offer her their wealth and devotion to follow her own path. But that way leads to disillusionment and a future as constricted as `a dark narrow alley with a dead wall at the end'. In a conclusion that is one of the most moving in modern fiction, Isabel makes her final choice. The Portrait of a Lady is the masterpiece of James's middle period, and Isabel is perhaps his most engaging central character. This edition provides a challenging new introduction and detailed notes; the text is that of the New York Edition and includes Henry James's own Preface.
The novel reveals why Ada has stopped speaking, the history of the piano, and the secret of Flora's conception.
