Isabel Archer, a young American heiress who falls under the spell of the sophisticated Madame Merle, is one of the most appealing of all the Henry James heroines. Through Madame Merle, Isabel meets and marries the widower Gilbert Osmond, who projects refined tastes and intellectual detachment. In the end, however, she discovers that both her husband and her friend are exemplars of an appalling, complex depravity that becomes the central issue in her life. This timeless novel of innocence and disillusionment is read by film actress Nina Foch (The Ten Commandments).
