Title: A Life - Guy de Maupassant - book
Summary :
Jeanne, the pampered only daughter of Baron and Baroness Le Perthuis des Vauds, had everything to be happy. Her marriage to Julien de Lamare, a boorish and greedy man, would prove to be a disaster. Her life would be a series of trials and disappointments.
This novel, Guy de Maupassant's first, is a remarkable depiction of the provincial customs of 19th-century Normandy: squires, servants and peasants are described with great realism.
