Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Henry James novel originally serialised in 1880-81, which tells the story of Isabel Archer, a Spirited Young Lady who, after the death of her father, leaves her native Albany for Britain in company of her estranged aunt Lydia Touchett. Isabel eschews marriage in favour of her ambition to see as much of the world as possible and find her own purpose in life, but when she inherits a fortune from her uncle, Lydia's husband Daniel, she is soon caught up in the Machievellian scheming of two other American expatriates.The book was made into a feature film in 1996, directed by Jane Campion, and starring Nicole Kidman, John Malkovich, Barbara Hershey and Shelley Duvall.

Affably Evil: Gilbert Osmond is mostly outwardly polite, never raises a finger on anyone or threatens someone. He's just that good at manipulating and dominating people emotionally.

Lord Warburton, Caspar Goodwood and Ralph all love Isabel who is flattered or annoyed depending on the suitors' respective insistence, but doesn't love romantically any of them (she does love Ralph but in a Like Brother and Sister way).

All Love Is Unrequited: Lord Warburton, Caspar Goodwood and Ralph all love Isabel who is flattered or annoyed depending on the suitors' respective insistence, but doesn't love romantically any of them (she does love Ralph but in a Like Brother and Sister way). Also a rare familial example: Madame Merle is in reality Pansy's mother and loves her, but Pansy doesn't know that and not only she dislikes Madame Merle — Madame Merle seems to be about the only person the sweet Pansy dislikes.

Abusive Parents: Pansy doesn't acknowledge that her father is emotionally abusive, poor little thing. But she suffers a lot and eventually is really afraid of him.
