An International Episode is an 1878 short story by Henry James.

Two men visting the US from London meet a pair of charming women who return the visit the following year in London.

Romantic intrigues, miscommunication and cultural faux pas abound in this short but delightful novel.

Henry James, OM (Order of Merit) (1843-1916) was an American-born writer, regarded as one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism. 

He is best known for a number of novels showing Americans encountering Europe and Europeans. His method of writing from a character's point of view allowed him to explore issues related to consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and unreliable narrators brought a new depth to narrative fiction. 

Henry James was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, 1912, and 1916.
