New translation for the 100th anniversary of Henry James's death on February 28, 2016. What distinguishes Europeans from Americans? In his lighthearted comedy, Henry James brings women and men from both sides of the Atlantic into conversation and then to the altar. One hundred years after James's death, this early work of the esteemed author is now available in a new translation. With no money but trusting in a good match, Baroness Eugenia Münster and her brother Felix Young travel to New England. Armed with their titles and charm, the two quickly win over their relatives, including their uncle and his three adult children. In changing pairings, temperaments and ideas from the Old World compete with the values and morals of the New. Ultimately, who binds themselves to whom is decided after a lively round of transatlantic relationships that offers a fresh perspective on both continents.
