Ellie's Review
I really liked this book and look forward to reading other Henry James works (this was my first read). He's a male Jane Austen.
Book Summary
The shy and sweet daughter of a well-to-do physician, Catherine Sloper seems destined for lifelong spinsterhood until the sudden appearance of a dashing suitor who proposes marriage. Her adored father suspects the would-be fiance of fortune-hunting and threatens her with disinheritance, forcing Catherine to choose between lover and father.
