Blurb: 
This masterly short novel describes the meeting of family from America and Europe. Eugenia, an expatriated American whose marriage to a German prince has come undone, and her charming brother, Felix, are visiting relatives in the countryside near Boston. Their intent is to arrange a wealthy second marriage for Eugenia. The satire of James"s nineteenth-century study of the contrast in manners and morals between the wealthy of Europe and those of America, its wit, gaiety, and what Rebecca West calls its "clear sunlit charm" has made this the most popular of James"s novel.
