The Golden Bowl

The Golden Bowl is a complex, intense study of marriage and adultery. It explores interrelationships between a father and daughter and their respective spouses. We follow prince Amerigo, an impoverished but charismatic Italian nobleman, who is in London for his marriage to Maggie Verver, only child of the widower Adam Verver, the fabulously wealthy American financier and art collector. While there, he re-encounters Charlotte Stant, another young American and a former mistress from his days in Rome.
