About

When Frederick, an American expatriate traveling in Europe, meets the newly rich Miller family from New York, he is charmed by the daughter, Daisy. Some months later, he meets the family in Rome, where Daisy has aroused suspicion among the American colony by being seen constantly with a third-rate Italian. Ostracized by former friends who think her 'intrigue' has gone too far, Daisy denies that she is engaged to Giovanelli.

Geoffrey Moore, author of Crossing the Chasm
"Daisy Miller uses the contrast between American innocence and European sophistication as a powerful tool with which to examine social conventions."
