The battle between a father and a daughter is
usually portrayed in literature as a struggle between a headstrong but
feisty girl and a tradition-bound lead weight of a father. Henry James
of course had to do it somewhat differently. He tells a story of an
intelligent man riding the turn of the tide in mid-nineteenth century
New York, and watching what he sees as his numbingly dull and
conventional daughter making the mistake of her life in her choice of
husband.
The fight between these two delicious characters
makes this one of James’ funniest and most enjoyable of novels, with
the suspense carried right up until the last page as to how the contest
will end.
