Portrait of a lady

The second half of the 19th century - a charming American girl comes to England, to the cozy and typically English Gardencourt estate, where her relatives live. Here she gets acquainted with the new and previously unknown world of the English aristocracy, and then travels to Europe and beyond to get to know other countries, other people, and most of all - herself and her destiny. Sunny Italy gives her love, marriage and many trials. Will Isabel be able to worthily overcome disappointment, betrayal and human baseness? Will she be able to remain faithful to her ideals, to her idea of good and evil? One of the best American and English writers of the late 19th - early 20th centuries. Henry James does not offer the reader easy answers - he wants the reader to think, to sympathize, and most importantly - to feel that life is diverse, unpredictable and therefore beautiful.
