Rent Wings of the Dove

Synopsis

In THE WINGS OF THE DOVE, Kate Croy, a penniless young Englishwoman, tries to arrange a marriage between her fiancT Merton Densher and the American heiress she has befriended, knowing that Millie, the heiress, has a fatal illness and not long to live. Informed about the situation, Millie generously leaves her money to Densher anyway, as proof of her love for him. But Densher, conscience-stricken and devastated by this proof of purity and virtue, is unable to accept the money or to marry Kate, whom he now sees for the scheming opportunist she is.
