Summary
The story revolves around Christopher Newman, a wealthy but essentially middle-class American businessman. After gaining wealth in the industrial boom following the Civil War, Newman decides to travel to Europe to better himself through his culture and perhaps find his aristocratic wife who would complete his idea of the "perfect life."
In Paris, Newman meets Claire de Cintre, a noblewoman and widow of the Bellegarde family, a respected ancient French family. They begin courting and Newman becomes smitten. He surprises and dismays her family by proposing to Claire. The Bellegardes, especially her mother and brothers, are deeply rooted in aristocratic tradition and view Newman's proposal as an affront to their lineage and status...
Tensions increase when Newman discovers that the Bellegardes are hiding a dark family secret.
