Day 344: #ThePortraitOfALady by #HenryJames

The story of #IsabelArcher, a #beautiful, #smart and #young #American #woman who goes to #England.

Her #aunt would like to find her a #husband but our protagonist knows that a woman is not defined by the one she marries.

There’s something about #IsabelArcher, the beautiful, but intimidatingly clever American heiress in Henry James’ #PortraitOfLady. Both of her sisters have married, but Isabel yearns for a life of independence and travel. This week, we talk all things Henry James with Irish novelist #ColmToibin!
