A Masterpiece October 9, 2007 This is the second part of the Poor Relations series, which starts in Cousin Bette. The story is black humour at its best. In the early days of antiques being prized and sold at exorbitant prices poor M Pons' relatives become greedy and grasping to get there hands on what could make them lots of money. In this story you really feel for and can't help sympathising with the likeable M Pons. His relatives really do not like him and all they are after is to make as much money as possible, with the help of M Pons' antiques. This story really shows why Balzac is one of the world's greatest storytellers and also shows his vast range of abilities and insight into the human psyche.
