Honoré de Balzac

During the 1840s, a bourgeois Parisian family is brought to ruin by the machinations of an embittered spinster.

Cousin Bette

A boot-up or shut-up kinda book, Balzac shits all over each character as well as the reader in a cold dose of "anti-fiction fiction." Awesome. Not a book to read while relaxing on the beach.
