"The Reverberator" by Henry James is a short novel published in 1888. When naïve American girl Francie Dosson shares gossip about her fiancé's proper Parisian family with a scandal-sheet correspondent, the intimate details predictably end up in print. The resulting uproar threatens her engagement to Gaston Probert, forcing both to choose between family loyalty and love. James crafts a light comedy that skewers both tactless American innocence and stuffy French snobbery, while taking aim at sensationalist journalism.
