The Europeans
By Henry James
-pgs: 165
I like how Henry James places multiple cultures together and attempts to get them to interact. Then in his stories, he predicts their outcomes. It is almost like reading a sociological experiment. I must admit that James made me successfully hate one of his characters who represented for me all my concepts of a cold, vindictive, uncaring woman. However, looking past this character, the others were interesting arrangements in love and their response to it. This story was engaging; however, its plot and characters were not memorable and it will be completely forgotten.
