| Summary | "Christine" by Louis Énault is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book is set in Stockholm and revolves around the titular character, the comtesse Christine de Rudden, who is at the center of social intrigue and romance. It explores her interactions with a young French diplomat, Georges de Simiane, as they navigate complex feelings amidst the backdrop of the elegant but rigid social fabric of Swedish society. The opening of the story introduces readers to the picturesque landscape of Stockholm during a winter filled with snow and social gatherings around the icy lakes. We meet Georges, freshly arrived in Sweden and captivated by the beauty of the winter scene, as he shares a sleigh ride with Axel de Valborg, a local nobleman. Their conversation touches on the enigmatic comtesse Christine, who is described as charming yet elusive, drawing the interest of men around her. As the two friends attend a glamorous ball, Georges’s fascination with Christine deepens despite her absence from the event. The atmosphere is rich with anticipation, hinting at the potential complications of love, friendship, and societal expectations that will unfold as the narrative progresses.
