Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time

Set amid the splendor of London drawing rooms and gilded Venetian palazzos, The Wings

of the Dove is the story of Milly Theale, a naive, 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.""
