Henry James 
The Sacred Fount (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 

Considered one of James’s most difficult works, The Sacred Fount centers on a nameless narrator and his obsessive attempts to discern the love relationships between various guests at a weekend getaway in the country, using only their looks and behavior. While readers and critics were equally baffled by the book when it was published, later critics have more kindly evaluated this experimental work.
