In The Master, award-winning author Colm Tóibín tells the story of Henry James, the famous American novelist who left his country to live in Europe among privileged artists and writers. With stunningly resonant prose and emotional intensity, Tóibín captures the loneliness and longing, the hope and despair of a man whose forays into intimacy inevitably failed him and those he tried to love. Time and again, James, a master of psychological subtlety in his fiction, proves blind to his own heart.
