Foreign Bodies

by Cynthia Ozick

'Foreign Bodies' is a reimagined narrative echoing Henry James's 'The Ambassadors,' but with a revelatory twist. This American classic follows the journey of Bea Nightingale, a divorced New York schoolteacher whose stagnant life is upended when she's implored by her estranged brother to rescue her runaway nephew in Paris. As Bea navigates through the entanglements of her brother's family, her ex-husband's shadow, and her own quest for independence, she inadvertently triggers a series of upheavals that reshape their lives. Set against the backdrop of the 1950s, from New York to Paris and Hollywood, Bea's story unfolds, offering profound insights into love, liberty, and the familial cords that bind and chafe.
