Madame de Treymes
Author: Edith Wharton
Wharton's first work after THE HOUSE OF MIRTH was MADAME DE TREYMES, a portrait of turn-of-the-century American and French culture. It tells the story of a transplanted New Yorker, Fanny Frisbee, who is unhappily married to a marquis, and of her American lover who comes to Paris to take her away.

In this novelette, set in Paris, the title character is a sly, conniving catalyst bent upon thwarting the romance between an American businessman and her sister-in-law who is estranged from her husband. A real Curella de Ville! The way in which she manipulates both is interesting: alternately shifting their emotions between despair hope. It is typical of the fine writing of Wharton and her excellent character development.
