A short but interesting novella about the differences between American and European society. The story follows a young American lady named Daisy Miller as she travels with her family in Europe. The language used was more formal than I'm used to, and the story was a bit hard to get into at first. I liked this book, though I probably would not have such a high opinion of it if I hadn't taken the time to study it more critically. So, with that said, I liked it because I found similarities between how Americans are viewed in this story and opinions of Americans and tourism today. Also, though she wasn't exactly 'relatable', I thought Daisy was a strong character because she refused to conform to things she didn't agree with or that didn't make sense to her. It's always nice to see empowered female characters in older stories. I recommend this book to anyone high-school age and older.
