| Summary | "Carnet d'une femme" by Pierre de Lano is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around the reflections of a young married woman who explores her experiences and emotions in Parisian society, navigating themes of love, infidelity, and the complexities of womanhood. The protagonist's journey highlights her observations of relationships and her evolving sense of self within a world marked by social expectations and personal desires. The opening of the novel introduces the main character as she returns to social life after her marriage, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety about the world she thought she had left behind. She describes her experiences at a ball, where she becomes aware of the different dynamics of attention that married women receive compared to young girls. As the evening unfolds, she grapples with feelings of jealousy and intrigue upon discovering her husband's infidelity, leading to introspective musings on love and societal norms. Through her interactions with friends and admirers, she begins to understand the intricate dance of love, fidelity, and the expectations placed upon women in her social circle, setting the stage for a complex exploration of her identity as a wife and a woman in a constraining world.
