✦ Synopsis

Set amid the splendor of London drawing rooms and gilded Venetian palazzos, 'The Wings of the Dove' is the story of Milly Theale, a naïve, doomed American heiress, and a pair of lovers, Kate Croy and Merton Densher, who conspire to obtain her fortune.

In this witty tragedy of treachery, self-deception, and betrayal, Henry James weaves together three ill-fated and wholly human destinies unexpectedly linked by desire, greed, and salvation.

As Amy Bloom writes in her Introduction, “'The Wings of the Dove' is a novel of intimacy. . . . [James] gives us passion, he gives us love in its terrible and enchanting forms.”
