📖 The Awkward Age

Henry James's «The Awkward Age» is the coming of age story of Nanda, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Brookenham, a couple who travel in a rather decadent and corrupt social circle. Originally serialized in «Harper's Weekly» during 1898-1899, the novel is a biting attack on the English fin de siècle society life, what James personally believed to be an increasingly immoral and irresponsible time in English history.
