About This Book

The volume follows Serge and Micheline during the honeymoon months as their ardent intimacy gives way to ostentatious living, frequent entertainments, and elaborate country seasons. Lavish receptions and heavy gambling losses strain finances and unsettle Micheline's mother, who intensifies her business efforts to cover expenses. The presence of a former rival and the servants' dismissive attitude compound domestic unease, and growing contrasts between showy pleasure and practical restraint foreshadow the first real rupture in the couple's relationship.
