Summary

Eugénie Grandet is Balzac's first great novel and one of the series Comédie Humaine.

At the beginning of the story the heroine lives an unfulfilled life in rural France, her nature crushed by a domineering and miserly father. Gallant cousin Charles arrives and acts as a catalyst on Eugénie's personality and emotions.

Will her love survive the strong self-opinion of the young man and the selfishness of her father or is Eugénie's reward destined to be in heaven?

Fabulous

Superb storytelling. Well translated and narrated. This is my first book on audible that I have actually finished. Wonderful to be able to re-discover some classic literature in a different format.
