"Raine's translations restore Balzac to his passionate and efficient outrage upon the expectations of fiction. This best of his novels is worthy to be 'ours'-and now it is." -Richard Howard, "Raine's translations restore Balzac to his passionate and efficient outrage upon the expectations of fiction.

Synopsis
"Bette is a wronged soul; and when her passion does break, it is, as Balzac says, sublime and terrifying," wrote V. S. Pritchett. A late masterpiece in Balzac's La Com die Humaine, Cousin Bette is the story of a Vosges peasant who rebels against her scornful upper-class relatives, skillfully turning their selfish obsessions against them. The novel exemplifies what Henry James described as Balzac's "huge, all-compassing, all-desiring, all-devouring love of reality.", "Bette is a wronged soul; and when her passion does break, it is, as Balzac says, sublime and terrifying," wrote V.
