Christopher Newman is an American expatriate in Paris, his fortune
made, he has moved to the Old World to enjoy his wealth and find a
wife. Newman soon falls for a young widow, the aristocratic Claire
de Bellegarde, but his brash New World sensibility horrifies her
haughty family. Though the family oppose the idea of the couple’s
marriage, reversals of fortune cause them to reconsider. When
another suitor arrives on the scene all appears lost, until Newman
befriends Claire’s younger brother Valentin and finds himself in
possession of a dark family secret. As the novel unfolds, James’s
unmistakable stylistic grace combines with his less well- known
sense of melodramatic romance, resulting in a finale that combines
duels, death, betrayal and blackmail.&,nbsp,
