A short story with a punch, \'Madame de Treymes\' follows lovelorn John Durham as he travels to France to court his old love, Fanny Frisbee. While Fanny is separated from her husband, she is still married, and it looks unlikely that he\'ll agree to a divorce. Can Fanny\'s sister-in-law, the eponymous \'Madame de Treymes\' help the course of true love? An intriguing read, this book might sound like a simple romance, but there are darker themes at work. Ideal for those who already admire Wharton\'s work and those just getting to know her. Zdroj anotace: Web obalkyknih.cz
