Synopsis
Possibly James's most complex and difficult work, THE GOLDEN BOWL concerns four characters: the American art connoisseur Adam Verver, his daughter Maggie, Maggie's old school friend Charlotte Stant, and Charlotte's ex-suitor Prince Amerigo. The fabulously wealthy Ververs encounter the prince on their European tour, and he and Maggie fall in love and are married. When Charlotte comes to visit, Adam Verver asks her to marry him. The two couples settle in London, where Maggie begins to suspect the previous liaison between her husband and her friend. Desperately in love with the prince and unable to bear the presence of his old lover, Maggie persuades her father to take Charlotte back to America to live, without revealing to him what she knows. Impressed by Maggie's handling of the delicate situation, the prince falls truly in love with her. A golden bowl found in a Bloomsbury antique shop, and later smashed to pieces, serves as the emblem for the complicated web of love and betrayal James deals with in this novel.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "The Prince had always liked his London, when it had come to him: he was one of the modern Romans who find by the Thames a more convincing image of the truth of the ancient state than any they have left by the Tiber."
Industry Reviews
"It seems to me to present Mr. James at his worst....We find, standing for subtlety, a kind of restless finicking inquisitiveness, a flutter of aimless conjecture, such as might fall to a village spinster in a 'department store.' Mr. James, the prolix, the inconsequent, the incoherent, the indecisive; it is of this Mr. James that we carry away an impression from 'The Golden Bowl.'"
Spender
"‘The Golden Bowl' is a work unique among all his novels: it is James's only novel in which things come out right for his characters... He had finally resolved the questions curious and passionate, that had kept him at his desk in inquiries into the process of living. He could now make his peace with America--and he could now collect and unify the work of a lifetime."
