Henry James 
Reverberator 

The Reverberator is a short novel by Henry James, first published as a serial in Macmillan’s Magazine in 1888 and then as a book later the same year. Described by the leading web authority on Henry James as "a delightful Parisian bonbon, " the comedy traces the complications that result when nasty but true stories about a Paris family get into the American scandal sheet of the novel’s title.
