Historia
During a trip to Europe, Christopher Newman, a wealthy American businessman, asks the charming Claire de Cintre to be his wife. To his dismay, he receives an icy reception from the heads of her family, who find Newman to be a vulgar example of the American privileged class. Brilliantly combining elements of comedy, tragedy, romance and melodrama, this tale of thwarted desire vividly contrasts nineteenth-century American and European manners.

This recording is less professional than other recorded books I've listened to. The reader has a pronounced east coast accent, and has no knowledge of French pronunciation - a problem when the book takes place in Paris, and there are French words scattered throughout the text. Having "toilettes" pronounced "toilets" would have Henry James rolling in his grave.
