The Master by Colm Tóibín is a luminous and introspective novel that delves into the life of American author Henry James during a pivotal period from 1895 to 1899. Following the public failure of his play Guy Domville, James retreats to the English countryside, where he grapples with personal loss, repressed desires, and the complexities of his relationships. Tóibín's elegant prose offers a profound exploration of James's inner world, capturing the solitude and emotional intricacies that influenced his literary masterpieces. This Booker Prize finalist and winner of multiple international awards is essential reading for those interested in literary fiction and the nuanced portrayal of a writer's life.
