"Élise" by René Boylesve is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Élise, a young woman from Granville, as she navigates her relationships, societal expectations, and personal desires amidst the backdrop of family life and the evolving nature of love. Through the lens of Élise's life and experiences, the book explores themes of identity, societal norms, and emotional turmoil. The opening of the novel introduces us to a narrator who observes the world around him while attending a table d'hôte in Granville. He describes a couple whose conversations spark his curiosity, particularly about a mysterious and melancholy young woman named Élise. As the narrator reflects on his surroundings and his tendency to watch rather than engage, we learn that Élise is a central figure within a societal web that includes her family and acquaintances. The narrative sets the groundwork for a deeper exploration of Élise's character, relationships, and the events that will shape her life, hinting at her complexity and the significant events that will unfold.
