Description

In this most paradoxical of all novels; Destiny takes revenge on the ungrateful cousin Betty. It is a tale of unfaithfulness; deception; betrayal; lust; and hatred; set in nineteenth century Paris; a world of high finance and politics. The Hulots are a wealthy family; and Hortense -- Betty's cousin -- has made a fortunate marriage . . . to Betty's beloved. Hortense is good to her cousin; bringing her to live with them in a beautiful house. The Hulots are good to her; but Betty wants only revenge. Betty tries with all her wiles to destroy the family. Certainly she has many opportunities to do it; because the Hulots are flawed; and intrigue is Betty's favorite sport; intrigue with meanness and cruelty.
