{"product_id":"madame-de-treymes-edith-wharton-9781419131936","title":"Madame De Treymes","description":"Madame De Treymes is a novella written by the acclaimed American author Edith Wharton. Set in Paris, the story follows the character of John Durham, an American lawyer who has been tasked with convincing Madame De Treymes, a French aristocrat, to grant a divorce to his client, her husband. As Durham navigates the intricacies of Parisian society and the nuances of French law, he becomes increasingly drawn to Madame De Treymes, who is herself torn between her loyalty to her family and her desire for a new life. The novella explores themes of love, duty, and the clash of cultures between America and Europe, all through Wharton's trademark wit and insight into human behavior. With its elegant prose and finely drawn characters, Madame De Treymes is a timeless work of literature that continues to captivate readers to this day.Madame de Malrive heard the confession calmly; she had been too prepared for it not to have prepared a countenance to receive it. Her first comment was: \"\"I have never known them to declare themselves so plainly -- \"\" and Durham's baffled hopes fastened themselves eagerly on the words. Had she not always warned him that there was nothing so misleading as their plainness?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
