The Master tells the story of Henry James, a man born into one of America’s first intellectual families who leaves his country in the late nineteenth century to live in Paris, Rome, Venice, and London among privileged artists and writers . . . 

In stunningly resonant prose, The Master captures nineteenth-century European landscapes and the loneliness and longing, hope and despair, of a man who never married, never resolved his sexual identity, and whose forays into intimacy have inevitably failed him and those he tried to love. 

“A novel of beautifully realized interludes woven with the sinew of memory.” -- Toronto Star
