Daisy Miller

Henry James's delightful novella of American innocence colliding with European sophistication. When spirited Daisy Miller arrives in Switzerland with her nouveau riche family, her flirtatious charm scandalises the expatriate community—but is she naïve or simply refreshingly free? James captures the comedy and tragedy of cultural misunderstanding with his signature psychological insight. Perfect for lovers of sharp social commentary, nuanced character studies, and those classic tales that still feel surprisingly modern.
