  • "The even tenor of a Boston family's life is enlivened and disturbed by the advent of their European cousins."@en
  • "Eugenia, a baroness divorced from a German prince, and her artistic brother Felix, return destitute to New England to seek out their rich and innocent cousins. Eugenia's foreign gentility and audacity confuse the puritanical customs of the New World. On the other hand, Felix's luxurious romantic ways are accepted by the American women. But misunderstandings of a different kind complicate his plans. The two cousins let their fortunes depend upon their ability to adapt, but where their scheming leads them is the last place they expect."@en
  • "Eugenia, an American expatriate brought up in Europe, arrives in rural New England with her charming brother Felix, hoping to find a wealthy second husband after the collapse of her marriage to a German prince. Their exotic, sophisticated airs cause quite a stir with their affluent, God-fearing American cousins, the Wentworths - and provoke the disapproval of their uncle, suspicious of foreign influences."@en
  • "One of Henry James' main themes was the interaction between the Old World and the New. Restless Baroness Eugenia Munster and her charming bohemian brother Felix are visiting their American cousins in Boston, New England. The effect these two extravagant characters have on their austere Puritan relations forms the substance of the book and is told in a series of scenes or'sketches.'"

  • "GENERAL & LITERARY FICTION. Eugenia, an American expatriate brought up in Europe, arrives in rural New England with her charming brother Felix, hoping to find a wealthy second husband after the collapse of her marriage to a German prince. Their exotic, sophisticated airs cause quite a stir with their affluent, God-fearing American cousins, the Wentworths - and provoke the disapproval of their uncle, suspicious of foreign influences. To Gertrude Wentworth, struggling against her somber puritan upbringing, the arrival of the handsome Felix is especially enchanting. Henry James was an American-born British writer who became one of the most influential writers and critics of the late 19th century, particularly in regard to the literary movement known as Realism."
