gingerterror 's review for:

Madame de Treymes by Edith Wharton
4.0

Bite sized Wharton that's not too insufferable. Americans try to escape the spectre of French family and church to find happiness. Chap tries to trust in his innocent forthrightness to navigate his happiness. And we are extremely shocked when he gets double triple crossed by a wily Frenchwoman and even more shocked when he is willing to nobly sacrifice his happiness.
