About This Book

Le roman suit deux jeunes femmes issues de milieux différents dont les destins divergent tandis qu'elles affrontent mariage, ambition et hypocrisie sociale. L'une use d'esprit et d'audace pour gravir l'échelle sociale, l'autre conserve douceur et loyauté; toutes deux subissent les retombées de la gloire militaire et des difficultés financières. L'œuvre mêle portraits satiriques des mœurs, ironie sur la vanité et scènes épisodiques alternant comique et ambivalence morale.
