La storia della lotta della giovane Nanda Brookenham per preservare la sua onestà nel mondo brillante ma corrotto dei suoi genitori è un dramma di innocenza tradita ma preservata. Scritto quando James si stava riprendendo dallo shock del fallimento come drammaturgo, THE AWKWARD AGE è uno dei suoi più grandi capolavori. Concepito come un'opera teatrale in termini di scene e condotto in gran parte attraverso dialoghi arguti, il romanzo porta i segni trionfanti del suo doloroso apprendistato a teatro

Henry James was born on 15th April 1843 in Washington Place, New York to a wealthy and intellectual family and as a youth travelled between Europe and America. His first novel, Watch and Ward, was published in 1871 after first appearing serially in Atlantic Monthly. After a brief period in Paris, James moved first to London and then later to Rye in Sussex. He became a British citizen in 1915 to declare his loyalty to his adopted country as well as to protest against America's refusal to enter the war on behalf of Britain. Henry James was a prolific writer and critic and from around 1875 until his death he maintained a strenuous schedule of publications in a variety of genres: novels, short story collections, literary criticism, travel writing, biography and autobiography. He died in 1916.
