It's important to read this book before going, a woman unescorted, to Castle Chillion and Rome, so that you can avoid Daisy's dire fate.

Or so I was assured, drily, by my favorite uncle.

In actuality, Daisy Miller is an interesting discussion of femininity and womanhood, of societal mores, and the benefits of conforming to notions of proper behavior.

It's a quick read, an upsetting one, but well worth it.
