About This Book

La narration suit les efforts obstinés d'une mère pour marier son fils riche et réservé, parcourant lettres et propositions et organisant entrevues avec candidates choisies, tandis que le jeune homme accepte par complaisance mais retarde à regret la décision. Autour d'eux, parenté, amis et notables pèsent sur le destin matrimonial, révélant rivalités de classe, ambitions sociales et usages mondains. Le ton combine comique et ironie pour peindre les petits calculs, les conventions et les hypocrisies d'un milieu bourgeois, alternant scènes familiales et observations satiriques sur le mariage, la transmission des patrimoines et les tensions générationnelles.
