The story centers around Jeanne, a young woman who has just left a convent and is eager to embrace the joys and freedoms of life. Through her perspective, the novel explores themes of love, societal expectations, and the complexity of human relationships. The opening of the novel introduces Jeanne as she prepares to leave her confined life at the convent, set against a backdrop of heavy rainfall that symbolizes her initial sadness and longing for happiness. As she interacts with her father, the Baron, and her mother, we learn about her sheltered upbringing and the baron’s idealistic plans for her future. The family finally departs for their country estate, where Jeanne immerses herself in nature. The tone shifts from the dreary weather to a sense of hope and beauty as they arrive at the estate, reflecting Jeanne's inner excitement for the life ahead of her. Ultimately, her anticipation for love and new experiences is palpable as she dreams of possibilities while being surrounded by the lushness of her new home.
