I'm 80% through now. I can't say the book is enamoring me that much. I like the tone and the book speaks through atmosphere quite well, but it's a lot of nothing about a person who outside of shyness and sexual orientation that was not social norm felt as an outcast. It's lacking much drama for me. It's a very soft book for me and easy to read in that respect. Probably deeper for many.
I believe that not having read any of Henry James' work yet I am at a disadvantage for getting more out of the book. Either that or I'm just daft. Which is quite possibly true.
I did like the scene of them drowning the clothes. I thought it was one of the best descriptions and alluded to so many things in his life.
