There is something very circular about the nature of this book. The way he writes around something he could otherwise state overtly, the path by which the daughter comes to resemble the father, and the elliptical way the characters conspire about each other with each other. Nothing moves in a straight line.

No matter how great the literary genius, it's never fun to read about someone dithering for pages on end.

Money appears to be as a state of grace. One can be truly good and honest as far as one has funds to afford these luxuries.

There's something obliquely sadistic about a Henry James novel. Even stranger, that's part of the appeal of reading his work. Erudite, elitist, gorgeously-written schadenfreude.
