She was certainly a singular girl, and if he felt at the end that he did n't know her nor understand her, it is not surprising that he should have felt it at the beginning. But he felt at the beginning what he did not feel at the end, that her singularity took the form of a charm which—once circumstances had made them so intimate—it was impossible to resist or conjure away.

Schneider When I start reading an unfamiliar text by James, I often need to read the first sentence or paragraph 3 or 4 times before I even understand what the man is talking about. It is almost as if he built a protective wall around his territory. That wall has more than once repelled me and made me pick up another book. Once I have climbed over that wall, though, I am usually drawn in like a moth to a lamp. His language becomes addictive and his psychological finesse and social sarcasm become a highly delightful and pleasurable way of wasting my time. (After all, that's what reading fiction is for,isn't it? In the end it just depends on the standard that you have built up for yourself.)Georgina is a long story of 64 pages in the LoA edition. It tells us of a couple that does not seem to have worked well as a couple.The man in the couple, a navy officer without other means than his meager pay, has befriended a NY beauty from a wealthy family. The family rejects him as a suitor, but the woman marries him despite that, in a strange act of rebellion. Her rebellion is a secret one: she marries him secretly. He has to pledge that he will not disclose the secret unless she lets him. He accepts. Then she holds it against him: he should have protested stronger. (Don't I know that kind of trap? Luckily not in such a serious case as this.)The man had misgivings from the start, but then there was a period of happy times. The happiness did not last. He never felt that he really understood her.Georgina is not easily understood. She is one of a history of Jamesian women with odd motives and behaviors, but she is not like Daisy Miller or Isabelle Archer. She is not just odd and unadjusted, she is a cold blooded devil. Her poor husband gets to understand that over the years. She has trapped him in a cage of confidentiality, which lets her behave with complete freedom. His antiquated sense of honor keeps him from exposing her for her crimes. By any standard she deserves to be in jail rather than in an upper class NY residence.What a weird story.
2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Glad you asked By R. Hexter Perhaps I did not read the sell points carefully enough, but I was quite surprised when this so-called book arrived. It was a large, soft-back type-written "book", fairly small print, over-sized pages. I know what a book is when I see one and this one wasn't it. I didn't even read it. I guess it was one of those computer-generated "books" that I've heard about but I'm not interested. AMAZON, take note. I order a lot of books from you-make sure you don't send one of these my way again. I will not be happy. And if you do not include a notice that a book is this type of "book", I would suggest that you reconsider.
