| Summary | "Une page d'amour" by Émile Zola is a novel written during the late 19th century, forming part of the Rougon-Macquart series. The story centers around Hélène, a widow navigating the complexities of motherhood and her emotional entanglements as her daughter Jeanne faces a critical health crisis. Amidst the backdrop of Paris, the narrative intertwines themes of love, suffering, and the challenges of social and familial responsibilities. The opening of "Une page d'amour" presents a tense and atmospheric scene that begins in Hélène's home, where she is awakened in a state of alarm over her daughter's mysterious illness. As the night unfolds, Hélène's panic leads her to seek help, showcasing her deep maternal instinct. The doctor, Deberle, arrives to assess Jeanne, and the chapter emphasizes the fraught emotions of Hélène as she grapples with the fears of losing her child while also revealing the budding dynamic between her and the doctor. Hélène's delight in her daughter's recovery lays the groundwork for future interactions, hinting at both friendship and potential romance as their paths inevitably converge amidst the trials of their lives.
