Are you able to manipulate the CSV file manually before reading it? I had a similar issue, but was able to get the person that generated it to do a few things to it such as doing a global search/replace for ' → \' then wrapping the contents in a JS string variable. Then I just included the new file as I would any other JS file.

Ex.

Original CSV:

word,"multiple words",apostrophe's

Modified JS CSV:

var csvData = 'word,"multiple words",apostrophe\'s';

And then I used the Ben Nadel link posted by samccone to do the actual parsing.
