The Europeans (1878)
Penguin Classics
"European" brother and sister ambush their American cousins in New England, opening the door for the 19th-century equivalent of L.A./New York jokes, except here the collision is between boring, puritanical Yankee-ism and the vaguely debauched life of bottom-feeding Eurotrash. Some will marry, some will not, but most end up agreeing the scenery and quality of light in the USA is much different than the old world.
