Charrière presents six letters penned by a Mistriss Henley, who has chosen a decent and affectionate man as her life's companion only to discover that she cannot bear sharing his life. An immediate success on its publication in 1784, \u003cem\u003eMistriss Henley\u003c\/em\u003e was greeted with acclaim and controversy: one reader called the book \"literarily excellent\" but \"morally dangerous in various ways.\" Remarkable for its empathy for both spouses, \u003cem\u003eMistriss Henley\u003c\/em\u003e is not only a moving work of fiction but also one of the most modern novels of its day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modern Language Association of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55325340959064,"sku":"9780873527750","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780873527750_8daaa9a3-9bf5-42ab-88a8-da33bb3c6e1d.jpg?v=1777606249","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/lettres-de-mistriss-henley-publiees-par-son-amie","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
