In the shuttered house of Saumur's richest miser, a stack of gold coins is the one gift Eugenie Grandet has ever been given with anything like love: birthday by birthday, poured into her hands and immediately locked away again. When her ruined cousin Charles arrives from Paris, grieving and penniless, she gives him every coin she owns, in secret, and waits.
