Daisy Miller by Henry James (Penguin Classics) - paperback, used for school but no highlighting inside, stickers on cover. A classic 1878 novella about a spirited, innocent young American woman traveling in Europe who clashes with rigid European social conventions, particularly through her flirtatious behavior with a sophisticated American expatriate, Winterbourne, and an Italian man, Mr. Giovanelli, leading to scandal and tragedy. The story explores themes of innocence versus experience, cultural differences, and societal judgment, with Daisy's free-spirited nature ultimately leading to her demise from "Roman fever" (malaria) after she defies social norms in Rome. #henryjames #novel #fiction #selfdiscovery #bookworm
