Foreign Bodies

In Foreign Bodies, Pulitzer Prize finalist Cynthia Ozick offers a compelling retelling of Henry James’ The Ambassadors, set in 1952 Paris. The story follows Bea Nightingale as she journeys abroad to reconcile with her runaway nephew, leading to transformative experiences that reshape her understanding of herself. This acclaimed work, longlisted for the 2012 Orange Prize for Fiction, weaves a rich narrative of personal discovery and literary homage.
