About this product

Product Information

Maxwell is the unsung hero of American literature. This is about the charms and disenchantments of travel. It is 1948 and a young American couple arrive in France for a holiday, full of anticipation and enthusiasm. But the countryside and people are war-battered, and their reception at the Chateau Beaumesnil is not all the open-hearted Americans could wish for.
