Synopsis
Eugénie Grandet, first the victim of her wealthy father's miserliness, then disappointed in her love for her faithless cousin Charles, ends up rich and lonely in the house where she grew up, with only a devoted servant for company. Despite its title, however, the novel is essentially a portrait of one of Balzac's favorite character types--the greedy miser whose obsessive penny-pinching destroys the lives of those around him. Eugénie herself is an illustration of Balzac's firm deterministic belief that the effects of heredity cannot be overcome: as she matures, Eugénie becomes as miserly and self-denying as her father was.
