The Wings of the Dove is a novel by Henry James, first published in 1902. Two lovers, Kate Croy and Merton Densher, dream of a life together but are trapped by financial constraints and tangled family dynamics. When Milly Theale, a wealthy and enigmatic American heiress, enters their world, her presence becomes both a blessing and a complication. As Milly's health wanes and the trio's lives intersect in Venice, love, ambition, and morality collide, leading to choices that will irrevocably change their futures. Set against the backdrop of Edwardian society, this is a tale of desire, sacrifice, and the price of happiness.
