Summary

Hailed as the father of the naturalist novel, French author and playwright Honoré de Balzac left a legacy of treasured literary works that include Père Goriot and Cousin Bette. The daughter of a wealthy but miserly man, Eugénie Grandet falls in love with her penniless cousin, Charles. The two plan to marry, but at the behest of her father, Charles must first go overseas to make his fortune. Returning years later, Charles calls off the engagement, leaving Eugénie heartbroken and vengeful.

Painful

You would think a narrator would make sure that he was pronouncing the name of the title character correctly. But no. It really grates.

Inappropriate narrator

What a pity that this excellent story book is ruined by an inappropriate American narrator
