The novel is a dark comedy which follows the trip of protagonist&nbsp;Lewis Lambert Strether&nbsp;to Europe to bring the son of his widowed fianc&eacute;e back to the family business. The novel is written in the third-person narrative from Strether&#39;s&nbsp;point of view.<br /><br /><b>Lewis Lambert Strether</b>, the&nbsp;protagonist&nbsp;of the novel, is a cultured man in his fifties from the fictional town of Woollett, Massachusetts, who is dispatched to&nbsp;Paris&nbsp;to find Chad, the wayward son of his fianc&eacute;e Mrs Newsome. The book is entirely told from Strether&#39;s point of view and chronicles his change from an American to a European view of things.<br /><br />Strether, a middle-aged American of insignificant means, is sent to Paris by Mrs. Newsome, his wealthy fianc&eacute;e. The mission he has been given is to talk her son, Chad, into returning to the family business in Woollett, Massachusetts.<br /><br />The Newsome family believes that Chad might be overstaying his European tour because of an inappropriate romantic liaison, perhaps with a vulgar adventuress. The reader is given to understand, in indirect ways, that if Strether fails, his engagement to Mrs. Newsome is at risk.
