Madame De Treymes by Edith Wharton

Franny Frisbee is an unhappily married woman. Having left New York to live in Paris with the family of her husband, the Marquis of Malrive, she embarks on an adventure in Paris with her childhood friend John Durham, who wishes her to divorce her husband and marry him. Through Franny's crisis between her rights as a woman and what is best for her family, Edith Wharton explores the clashing cultures of Parisian and American life and the role of women at the turn of the century in this moving novel of love and scandal for an American woman abroad.
Edith Wharton was born in 1862. She won the Pulitzer Prize for The Age of Innocence in 1920, and was the first woman to receive a Doctorate of Letters from Yale University. In 1930 she became a member of the American Academy of Arts and letters. She died in France at the age of 75.
