Told entirely in letters, this novella lets a group of travellers report on America. A Europe-raised American girl and her mother land in New York, an English M.P. tours Boston, a French academician sneers, an aesthete pines for Paris and a patriotic American defends his country, each writer revealing more about himself than about the nation.
A sly, compact piece of James’s international comedy, ideal for readers new to him. Download the free EPUB.
