About This Book

A cultured marquis, after an unhappy first marriage, decides to remarry for practical reasons: he seeks a modest, sensible woman who will live quietly at his country estate, care for his child, and accept emotional reserve. Parallelly, a young rural woman copes with household labor and tight finances while caring for children and servants. The narrative contrasts aristocratic salons and provincial domestic life, examining tensions between duty and feeling, expectations of marriage and motherhood, and the uneasy negotiations between personal desire and social obligation.
