The Wings of the Dove



This Henry James book is good but way too long.  It was around 500 pages and I felt that it could have trimmed down a bit as the audience already gets the point of the novel after a while. It is about Kate and Merton, a couple that keeps their relationship private.  Kate knows that the wealthy Milly Theale is ill.  She tells Merton to get into Milly’s world seeing fortune ahead.  However, things don’t go exactly as planned.  I watched a BBC version of this from the 70’s and it was all right.
