A New England Winter (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161418217)

A New England Winter is a classic novel by renowned author Henry James. The book is set in the winter season in New England and follows the story of a young woman named Milly Theale, who is visiting the region for the first time. Milly is a wealthy heiress who is suffering from a serious illness, and she hopes that the crisp, cold air of New England will help her recover.As Milly explores the region, she meets a number of interesting characters, including a group of American expatriates living in Europe, a wealthy businessman named Mr. Touchett, and his son Ralph. Ralph becomes particularly enamored with Milly and begins to fall in love with her.However, as Milly's illness worsens, Ralph must come to terms with the fact that their time together may be limited. The novel explores themes of love, mortality, and the complexities of human relationships.With its vivid descriptions of the New England landscape and its nuanced portrayal of the characters' inner lives, A New England Winter is a timeless work of literature that continues to captivate readers today.Florimond, however, did not particularly wonder why his brother-in-law had not been round to bid him welcome. It was for Mrs. Daintry that this anxiety was reserved; and what made it worse was her uncertainty as to whether she should be justified in mentioning the subject to Joanna. It might wound Joanna to suggest to her that her husband was derelict, --especially if she did not think so, and she certainly gave her mother no opening; and, on the other hand, Florimond might have ground for complaint if Arthur should continue not to notice him. Mrs. Daintry earnestly desired that nothing of this sort should happen, and took refuge in the hope that Florimond would have adopted the foreign theory of visiting, in accordance with which the new-comer was to present himself first.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
