Mrs. Osmond by John Banville
The Booker Prize-winning author of The Sea continues the story of Isabel Archer, the young protagonist of Henry James's beloved The Portrait of a Lady--in this masterful novel of betrayal, corruption, and moral ambiguity.Eager but naïve, in James's novel Isabel comes into a large, unforeseen inheritance and marries the charming, penniless, and--as Isabel finds out too late--cruel and deceitful Gilbert Osmond. Here Banville imagines Isabel's second chapter telling the story of a woman reawakened by grief and the knowledge that she has been grievously wronged, and determined to resume her quest for freedom and independence.
John Banville was born in the Irish town of Wexford in 1945. He has won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, the GuardianFiction Prize, and the Lannan Literary Award for Writing for his previous thirteen works. He is based in Dublin.
