| Summary | "L'eau profonde; Les pas dans les pas" by Paul Bourget is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the complex emotional landscape of its characters, particularly focusing on Jeanne de La Node, a woman entangled in both her resentments and desires as she navigates relationships with her cousin Valentine and Valentine's husband, Norbert de Chaligny. Themes of jealousy, societal expectations, and the consequences of personal choices are likely to be explored throughout the narrative. The opening of the novel introduces us to the protagonist, Jeanne de La Node, as she witnesses an unexpected encounter in a grand Parisian department store with her cousin, Valentine de Chaligny. This chance meeting stirs up deep-seated feelings of envy and suspicion in Jeanne, prompting her to follow Valentine discreetly. As Jeanne grapples with her complex emotions—her own infidelity with Norbert juxtaposed with her cousin's perceived purity—we are given a glimpse into the intense psychological struggles that will unfold. The beginning sets the stage for a rich exploration of the intertwined lives of these characters, as their secrets and desires are slowly revealed within the opulent yet suffocating social fabric of Paris.
