Daisy Miller, by Henry James


At the moment, I am reading the wonderful novel, written by Colm Tóibín , The Master; a fictional biography of Henry James. And I cannot stop thinking about how much I want to read (or re-read) all of Henry James´ books, as well as all the ones by Colm Toíbín.

Here is a novella by Henry James, Daisy Miller. It talks - not only, but also - about Europeans versus Americans, and I believe is a great start to my(re)readings of Henry James´works.
