Flickerbridge is a novel written by the renowned American author, Henry James. The book is a captivating story of love, secrets, and betrayal set in the late 19th century. The story follows the lives of two young lovers, Pemberton and Maisie, who are torn apart by their families' disapproval of their relationship. Pemberton, a struggling artist, falls in love with Maisie, the daughter of a wealthy businessman. Despite their different backgrounds, the two fall deeply in love and plan to elope. However, their plans are thwarted by Maisie's father, who forbids her from seeing Pemberton. The story takes a dramatic turn when Pemberton is accused of a crime he did not commit, forcing him to flee the country. Maisie, heartbroken and alone, is forced to marry another man. However, their paths cross again years later, and they are forced to confront their feelings for each other and the secrets that have kept them apart.Flickerbridge is a beautifully written novel that explores themes such as love, class, and the consequences of societal expectations. James' masterful storytelling and vivid descriptions of the characters and settings make this book a must-read for anyone who loves a good love story.The graft in New York had taken, and Addie was a vivid, an unmistakable flower. At Flickerbridge, or wherever, on the other hand, strange to say, the parent stem had had a fortune comparatively meagre. Fortune, it was true, in the vulgarest sense, had attended neither party. Addie's immediate belongings were as poor as they were numerous, and he gathered that Miss Wenham's pretensions to wealth were not so marked as to expose the claim of kinship to the imputation of motive.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
