Set across London and Venice, the novel chronicles the intertwined fates of three characters: Kate Croy, a beautiful and ambitious young woman constrained by poverty; Merton Densher, her secret fiancé; and Milly Theale, a wealthy and fatally ill American heiress who arrives in Europe seeking life and love. James constructs a story of breathtaking social intrigue, in which Kate orchestrates a calculated scheme for Merton to court Milly in the hope of inheriting her fortune — a plan that ultimately unravels with devastating moral consequences. Written in James's characteristically intricate prose, the novel presents a profound meditation on love, deception, money, and the cost of sacrificing one's integrity for social ambition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956190785755,"sku":"2026200011154-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5195e5a0-8d0b-4639-974e-ef06f9d3b795.png?v=1783498928","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011154-secondhand-the-wings-of-the-dove","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
