The Golden Bowl (Book 5): illustrated Edition

The Golden Bowl (Book 5) as you haven't seen it before -- in a remarkable illustrated edition.

Maggie Verver’s world is one of elegance, refinement, and quiet devotion—but beneath its polished surface, deception festers. A daughter’s love for her father, a wife’s trust in her husband, and a friend’s unwavering loyalty—all begin to shift in ways she never imagined.

Charlotte Stant, once Maggie’s closest companion, is now the wife of Adam Verver. The two couples, bound together by wealth, marriage, and unspoken truths, move through London’s social circles with practiced grace. But behind the glittering façade, Maggie begins to sense a new, subtle danger—a game being played where she does not yet know the rules.

As glances grow longer, silences heavier, and the golden bowl itself reappears as a quiet omen, Maggie’s innocence begins to slip away. What has she overlooked? What has been hidden in plain sight? And, most importantly, what happens when she finally understands?

In this tense and deeply psychological section of The Golden Bowl, Henry James masterfully tightens the noose of suspicion, forcing Maggie into a transformation she never expected. The truth is waiting—but will she have the strength to face it?
