Book number 8 of the Rougon-Macquart series by Emile Zola. In this book, the author focuses on the lives of Helene, one of the three children of Ursula Macquart (Mouret), and her daughter Jeanne.
After the sudden death of her husband, when Helene had just moved to Paris, she and her daughter Jeanne entered into a struggle for life alone in the city she had never known. One night, when Jeanne suddenly falls ill and has a severe crisis, an emotional closeness develops between her and a doctor she calls.
Helene, who is used to living in the countryside and has not yet known the dirty world of Paris, finds herself in a great internal and moral conflict. And he tries to resist what will happen with all his spiritual strength. But this only goes so far. And unfortunately, what happened will have a very painful effect.
Again Paris and again a heavy drama. This time, it is a drama-free story that progresses calmly and emotionally, but in its finale it is a very effective and powerful one-shot drama. This is the feature of this book of the series.
Like the other books in the series, I enjoyed reading this book and recommend it to be read.
