Cousin Bette (movie tie-in)

Written in 1846 at the height of Balzac's literary powers, this novel portrays the stunningly malevolent Cousin Bette and her intricate plans for revenge against the wealthy relatives on whom she depends and whose condescension she bitterly resents. This is the official hardcover tie-in to the upcoming major motion picture from Fox Searchlight, starring Jessica Lange.
