Description
In Henry James's masterful novel, the exquisite beauty of Poynton and its priceless collection of art and furnishings become the battleground for a mother's fierce possessiveness. When Mrs. Gereth fears her son Owen will marry the unrefined Mona Brigstock, she begins to move the treasures of Poynton to her own villa, Ricks. This act of defiance sets in motion a complex dance of manipulation and desire, as Fleda Vetch, a young woman of refined taste, becomes entangled in the fate of both the heir and the heirlooms. The novel explores the profound connection between people and possessions, and the devastating consequences when love and loyalty are tested by material wealth.
