    About this audiobook

    Henry James' The Golden Bowl is a richly intricate novel of love, betrayal, and the complexities of human relationships. Set against the backdrop of Edwardian society, the story revolves around the entwined lives of American heiress Maggie Verver, her father Adam, and their respective spouses, Prince Amerigo and Charlotte Stant.

    As secrets and deceptions unfold, James masterfully explores the themes of loyalty, trust, and the moral ambiguities of marriage and friendship. Through his nuanced characterizations and exquisite prose, The Golden Bowl delves into the delicate balance between passion and duty, and the profound impact of truth on the human heart.

    Please note: The audiobook narration was digitally synthesized, and the cover was made in collaboration with AI tools.

    Henry James

    Henry James (1843–1916) was an American writer, highly regarded as one of the key proponents of literary realism, as well as for his contributions to literary criticism. His writing centres on the clash and overlap between Europe and America, and The Portrait of a Lady is regarded as his most notable work.
