Kurzbeschreibung:

Published in 1897, The Spoils of Poynton is one of the quintessential works of Jamess middle period. The "spoils" of the books title refer to furniture and other objets dart that the widow Adela Gereth moves to her cottage so that they are kept away from the clutches of her coarse future daughter-in-law, Mona Brigstock.
However, events take an unexpected turn when her married son Owen is attracted to her friend, Fleda Vetch. This tightly constructed novel, one of Jamess shortest, depicts the struggle between mother and son, with the idealistic and put-upon Fleda caught in the crossfire.
