| Summary | "Rêve blanc" by Henri Ardel is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces Agnès Vésale, an 18-year-old girl, as she navigates her life in Beaumont, experiencing the tension between her sheltered upbringing and the emerging complexities of love, social connections, and self-discovery. The novel explores themes of innocence, societal expectations, and the transformative power of love, particularly through Agnès's interactions with her family and friends. The opening of "Rêve blanc" sets a vivid scene on Easter Sunday, showcasing a religious ceremony at the cathedral where Agnès worships alongside her mother, Mme Vésale. As they leave the service, Agnès is filled with youthful excitement, particularly when she sees her friend Cécile, recently returned from her honeymoon. This social dynamic unfolds as Agnès engages in conversations about love and marriage, hinting at her burgeoning curiosity about romance. The narrative follows the Vésale family as they prepare for a trip to Paris, unveiling Agnès's conflicting feelings about her upcoming experiences and encounters, particularly with André Morère, a young man whose eloquent words ignite her imagination and desire for deeper understanding of love and connection.
