Description

The plot centers around a Europeanized American man named Winterbourne, who meets a nouveau riche American woman going by the name Daisy Miller. A short novel, James wields the sword of fiction to craft a "study" of the roles of men and women, social relationships, cultural intersection, the allure of money, foolishness and wisdom, the responsibilities of parents, and the impact of one's life upon others.

    From the start Mr. James endeared me to his story and characters. Plunked down in an age of innocence, Miss Daisy Miller is that and more. She is a delight. This being listed as one of the top 100 American novels ever written is most satisfying.

    Without giving much away, the tragic elements of this story I found both moving and kinda haunting. I can’t name any even remotely romantic books I’ve liked, but I found this one pulling at my heart strings, and coming back into memory here and there.
  • English book

    The story is pretty much long, and you will start to understand Daisy’s motives in Part 2. In the story, you will compare the social classes with their personalities/perspectives towards each other. Plus the “society “ is most often mentioned in the story.
    Overall it was pretty good detailed story.
  • Timeless

    Miller captures the quintessential "American girl" in Europe!
  • A good story:

    Not dated still--like Gatsby. I can even forgive James his narrative intrusions ('dear reader').
