This poetic novel tells the story of Dominique, who falls in love with the unattainable Madeleine, a young friend’s married cousin, and throws himself into a Paris literary career to try to overcome his despair. He realizes, however, that his work is mediocre. Eventually the two become friends, and, years later, Madeleine confesses her love yet advises him to leave her. He does and contents himself with a quiet country life and marriage to another.
