What to expect

Eugénie Grandet tells the story of a gentle, generous young woman ruled by a tyrannically miserly father. Living within the cold confines of their provincial home, Eugénie discovers love through the arrival of her cousin Charles — a hope that soon collides with greed, inheritance schemes, and the suffocating power of family ambition. Honoré de Balzac crafts an intimate, moving portrait of a pure soul trapped in a world of calculation. The moral dilemmas, domestic oppression, and emotional isolation Eugénie endures lend the novel a profound melancholy, while the small town of Saumur comes alive in vivid detail. A deeply touching work, Eugénie Grandet explores suffering, tenderness, resignation, and inner nobility. It stands as one of Balzac's most heartfelt and enduring masterpieces.
