The Wings of the Dove: With 11 Illustrations and a Free Audio Link.

The Wings of the Dove is a 1902 novel by Henry James. This novel tells the story of Milly Theale, an American heiress stricken with a serious disease, and her effect on the people around her. Some of these people befriend Milly with honorable motives, while others are more self-interested.

Milly is based on Minny Temple (1845–1870), James' beloved cousin who died from tuberculosis.

In 1998, the Modern Library ranked The Wings of the Dove 26th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.

The Wings of the Dove has one of the strongest critical positions of any of James' works.
