| Summary |
"L'automne d'une femme" by Marcel Prévost is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Julie Surgère, a young woman navigating her emotions and relationships, particularly her complicated feelings for Maurice Artoy, amidst societal expectations and personal dilemmas. The novel explores themes of love, morality, and the struggles of women in a world often dominated by men. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to a quiet chapel in Paris where many women seek solace and connection to their faith. It is here that we meet Julie, who appears conflicted as she engages in prayer, reflecting her inner turmoil. Following a conversation with the abbé Huguet, where her emotional struggles come to light, she acknowledges her deepening feelings for Maurice and contemplates their improper relationship. The opening sets the stage for Julie's challenging journey of self-discovery and the moral conflicts she faces as she seeks to balance her desires with the expectations of society.
