About the book

Guy de Maupassant's Une Vie, or A Woman's Life, follows Jeanne, a young woman whose romantic expectations of adulthood are tested by marriage, family and the disappointments of provincial life in nineteenth-century Normandy. With clear-eyed realism, Maupassant traces the passage from youthful hope to experience while examining love, betrayal, motherhood, money and the restricted choices available to women.
