| Summary |
Selfmade American millionaire Christopher Newman arrives in Paris brimming with hope and optimism, excited to experience the culture and, hopefully, find the perfect woman to become his wife. After a chance encounter with American expatriate friends his attention is drawn to Madame de Cintré, 25yearold widowed daughter of the late Marquis de Bellegarde. Having fallen on hard times, the centuriesold aristocratic family permits Newman's courtship to proceed; however, they later persuade the widow to break off her engagement to the nouveauriche businessman. When Newman finds himself in possession of a dark secret that threatens to destroy the Bellegarde family, he must decide whether to keep to his principles or exact his revenge. |
