The first novel that George Sand wrote without a collaborator, this is not only a vivid romance, but also an impassioned plea for change in the inequitable French marriage laws of the time, and for a new view of women. It tells the story of a beautiful and innocent young woman, married at sixteen to a much older man. She falls in love with her handsome, frivolous neighbor, but discovers too late that his love is quite different from her own. This new translation, the first since 1900, does full justice to the passion and conviction of Sand's writing, and the introduction fully explores the response to Sand in her own time as well as contemporary feminist treatments.

I disliked the chapter beginning and ending where the author and and translator names were mentioned after each chapter and the end of each chapter. Waste of the readers time.

Well written.

George Sand has profound insight into male egotism that preys on young women, and she writes beautifully to expose and educate such exploits. Bell’s performance is steadfast and consistent, but her voice reminds me of a bar fly who consumed many cigarettes in her life.

Great study of male narcissism
