Hello, giuli91, welcome to the forum.
I dread to say that I have never had the pleasure of reading The Portrait Of A Lady, but if you only search for a summary this site may help. Good luck!

As for the SparkNotes - they're great. Use them! They are your friend. This is pretty much my favorite of the relatively little "classic" literature I have read, and I had to write an analytical paper over it a few months ago, so I may be able to assist if you've any questions.
