"A London Life, and Other Tales" by Henry James is a novella first published in 1888. The story follows Laura Wing, an American woman visiting her sister Selina in London, whose marriage is collapsing amid adultery and impending divorce. As Laura confronts her sister's affair and witnesses the unraveling of a troubled marriage, she finds herself caught between moral horror and helpless ineffectiveness.
