The Wings of the Dove by Henry James (1902)

As we wander through the misty landscapes and echoing halls of a Henry James novel, we encounter characters draped in the complex tapestries of the human condition. Milly Theale, the ethereal American heiress, glows with a tragic innocence, her delicate spirit a beacon in the shadowy intrigue of wealth and deception. Beside her, Kate Croy moves with predatory grace, her sharp ambitions cutting through societal confines, while Merton Densher stands at a crossroads of love and morality, his integrity entwined with personal and ethical dilemmas. Together, they weave a story of enduring human entanglements and moral reflections, inviting us to contemplate the delicate interplay of fate and free will as we drift toward slumber.
