Summary:

A new edition of the innovative, emotionally complex novel. After her
parents' bitter divorce, young Maisie Farange finds herself shuttled
between her selfish mother and vain father, who value her only as a
means for provoking each other. Maisie-solitary, observant, and wise
beyond her years-is drawn into an increasingly entangled adult world
of intrigue and sexual betrayal until she is finally compelled to
choose her own future. Published in 1897 as Henry James was
experimenting with narrative technique and fascinated by the idea of
the child's-eye view, What Maisie Knew is a subtle yet devastating
portrayal of an innocent adrift in a corrupt society.
