Any novel dealing with a woman s self-dis-
covery might be termed "a timely work about
Women s Liberation " Yet the theme of
this sensitively written, beautifully conceived
story is both more universal and more deli-
cately personal than such a narrow descrip-
tion would permit. It appeals alike to men and
women: woman finding that they will identify
in many ways with the French heroine; men
discovering much to ponder in this woman s
clarifying view of the relationships between
men and women.
As the story opens, C61ine is fleeing a mar-
riage that has grown intolerable---a husband
whose infidelities are more than those of the
flesh. While her father drives her home to the
ancestral farm in Normandy, she ruminates on
her life: she has been running away most of
her days . . . first, from her father and his
granite-hard sister who, after C61ine s mother
died in childbirth, raised her with a rigid
strictness . . . next, she fled from school in
order to marry . . . now she is escaping from
her husband
How did a lonely girl wander through thirty
years of life without becoming completely lost ?
