 This is the first text I read of Henry James' and it won't be the last. I'm so glad that this novella came my way now; At a first glance it seems simple, but I read it twice and I was really intrigued by the writing style and enjoyed recognizing the clever imagery and the paradoxes presented within the text. This novella showed me what a beautiful text looks like.
