Vol. 13 Dagny and Laura Natal Rodrigues at Free Literature (Images generously made available by Hathi Trust Digital Library.) "Antonia" by George Sand is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story unfolds in Paris during April of 1785 and centers around Julien Thierry, a young flower painter, and his mother, Madame Thierry, as they navigate life after the death of Julien's father. The narrative delves into themes of love, social status, and artistic ambition, with Julien becoming enamored with the Comtesse d'Estrelle, a widow facing her own challenges. At the start of the novel, we find Julien at work in his studio, deeply engaged in painting and communicating with his mother. Their conversation reveals a profound bond as they discuss their shared sorrow, memories of Julien's father, and the notion of love and happiness. Meanwhile, in the nearby hôtel d'Estrelle, the Comtesse grapples with her financial woes and societal expectations while also entering into a deeper reflection about her past decisions and the loneliness of her status. The narrative then highlights Julien's burgeoning feelings for the Comtesse, which intertwines their fates against a backdrop of social class and financial pressures.
