    A masterpiece
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 August 2014*

So often 19th century literature tells us about beautiful, smart women whose main purpose in life is finding love and the perfect husband. Isabel is different. She thinks there is more to life than getting married, she doesn't want to settle down before having explored what the world has to offer: "I don't see what harm there is in my wishing not to tie myself. I don't want to begin life by marrying. There are other things a woman can do." How refreshing and modern for her time! Isabel's cousin Ralph, who loves her without hope, is the only person who really understands and supports her. In fact, thanks to Ralph she becomes a rich heiress. Ralph wishes her to have the means to do everything she wants in life, to have choices, but unfortunately with wealth come deceitful false friends and fortune hunters...I admit there were moments in the book where I thought it heavy, especially the part where Osmond courts Isabel. I disliked him so much that I found it frustrating to see her fall into the trap. I  am so glad I decided to continue until the end! The relationship between Isabel and Ralph is one of the most beautiful I have ever read about. At the end of the story you feel like you know these characters so well that it makes you think that all the words that you thought were superfluous and made the reading at times hard-going were exactly right and necessary for you to understand. The ending was at first disappointing, it was not what I had hoped for. At the same time it made me think and wonder for many days after reading the last page. This is one of the best books I've read recently and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

    Wonderful book that I have re-read several times
  

*by A***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 October 2014*

Wonderful book that I have re-read several times. James is a real wordsmith and I find myself in awe of his ability to describe moods and feelings so capably. The story revolves around Miss Isabel Archer, a young American who finds herself in reduced circumstances and is 'taken up' by her wealthy Aunt who takes her to Europe and to her home in England.  Here she meets her cousin Ralph and Lord Warburton who falls in love with her.  The rest of the book relates what happens to Isabel after she rejects Lord Warburton's proposal of marriage, becomes a wealthy heiress and falls prey to a fortune hunter.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Text in this version out of order in places.
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 May 2019*

Loved the novel: funny and not predictable, even when you know gist of story already. HOWEVER. ....This kindle version was mixed up, with sections of the wrong chapter appearing twice ahead of where they should be in the book. Bit of a spoiler for the plot. Sort this out Amazon: You should not be selling texts that have not been checked for accuracy. There were also numerous typos in the later chapters. I think you should refund my 49p!
