Seduced by the dashing Lieutenant Montraville, who persuades her to move to America with him, the fifteen-year-old Charlotte leaves her adoring parents and makes the treacherous sea voyage to New York. In the land of opportunity, Charlotte is callously abandoned by Montraville. Alone and pregnant with an illegitimate child, she valiantly fights to stave off poverty and ruin. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Modern Library Paperback Classic is set from the text of the first American edition.","brand":"Modern Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43374527054079,"sku":"9780812971217","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780812971217_s600x595.jpg?v=1776096205","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780812971217","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
