About the Book:

Daisy Miller by Henry James is a masterfully crafted novella that explores the clash between innocence, social convention, and European high society. The story follows Frederick Winterbourne, an expatriate living in Switzerland who becomes captivated by Daisy Miller, a spirited and fiercely independent young American girl traveling abroad with her family.

Refusing to adhere to the rigid social etiquette of 19th-century European aristocracy, Daisy's reckless charm and flirtatious behavior ignite scandal among the expatriate community. As Winterbourne struggles to understand her true character, Daisy's defiance leads her into a heartbreaking turn of events amidst the historic ruins of Rome.

Thought-provoking, tragic, and rich in social commentary, Daisy Miller stands as an unputdownable read for lovers of literary classics, historical drama, and timeless tragic romance.
