In The Cage

Meer over het boek

The narrative centers on an anonymous telegraphist in a London post office, who becomes an unintentional observer of her clients' lives through their cryptic telegrams. As she deciphers their secrets, particularly those of Captain Everard and Lady Bradeen, she navigates the complexities of their romantic entanglements while grappling with her own insights and the implications of her knowledge. This character serves as a metaphor for the artist, piecing together narratives from fragments, reflecting Henry James' own storytelling craft.
