While levity may not be the first word that comes to mind when thinking of Henry James, this delightful story possesses an unexpectedly lighthearted charm. It follows Peter Baron, a struggling young writer of modest talent, as he navigates life in a dreary London boarding house. There, he shares space with a beautiful and mysteriously clairvoyant widow and her small son. When Baron acquires a second-hand writing desk in hopes of igniting his creativity, he stumbles upon a hidden cache of letters that could implicate a recently deceased statesman. This unexpected discovery sets him on a transformative journey, forcing him to confront the challenges that arise and, as a surprise bonus, reveals his hidden talent for what Americans might call Tin Pan Alley. (Summary by Nicholas Clifford)
