What Maisie Knew
Henry James's novel, in the Penguin Classics paperback, filters a divorce and its aftermath through the consciousness of a child who understands more than the adults around her admit. James's late style is famously elaborate, but here it is also exacting: every qualification circles closer to Maisie's actual experience. Penguin's edition includes the companion story "The Pupil" and the usual scholarly apparatus, kept modest enough not to slow the reading.For readers patient with sentences that unwind slowly and then snap shut.
