Description
Published in 1897, "What Maisie Knew" is a novel by Henry James that explores the complex and often unstable world of childhood. When Beale and Ida Farange divorce, their young daughter Maisie is caught in the middle, spending six months with each parent as they navigate their own tumultuous relationship.
As Maisie grows from a young child to an adolescent, she finds herself frequently forgotten in her parents' adult dramas and childish feuds. Despite this, James's novel portrays Maisie as a thoughtful and intelligent young lady who matures into a strong and independent individual. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
