Narrated by Paul Hecht.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Scandalous submitted by Kimberlyrol on July 25, 2015, 5:00pm Set in mid 19th century Paris, this is Balzac's tale of the vengeance that a cousin takes on her family by helping them realize their obsessions. Balzac's commentary about Parisian life and its network of mistresses and the price they exact from the men who keep them is richly detailed and engaging.
