What Maisie Knew by Henry James
After her parents' bitter divorce, Maisie Farange finds herself shuttled between her selfish mother and vain father. And when both take lovers and remarry, Maisie - solitary, observant and wise beyond her years - is drawn into an increasingly entangled adult world of intrigue and sexual betrayal, until she is compelled to choose her own future.
