My daughters have both read "Daisy Miller," and though neither of them gave it their highest rating, before one of the copies traveled to Half-Price Books, I said "I never read it; it looks short; I probably should read it." Disappointing, but then, a book of its times and of what passed for society manners of the day. Winterbourne, the narrator, did not draw me in. Daisy was an enigma--innocent or ? The most interesting character, Daisy's brother Randolph, only appears in the beginning and near the end. Ah, well, it was short.
