This story delves into themes of love, jealousy, and social class through the lives of its central characters, particularly Paul and Madeleine, as they navigate their relationship amidst the backdrop of a lively café scene.

The opening of the novel introduces us to a bustling restaurant where Paul, a young man from a respectable background, is seen interacting affectionately with his lover, Madeleine. Their experiences convey a complex dynamic between public display and private affections, filled with burgeoning social tensions. As they enjoy a day by the river and encounter a group of women known for their scandalous reputation, Paul is overwhelmed by jealousy and insecurity regarding Madeleine's interactions with them.
