"Sous le soleil de Satan" by Georges Bernanos is a novel written in the early 20th century." The story explores the lives of its main character, Germaine Malorthy, and her family, navigating themes of societal expectations, love, and personal tragedy within the framework of provincial life in France. The opening sets the stage for Germaine's complex relationships, particularly with her father, the brasseur Malorthy, and her romantic entanglement with the marquis de Cadignan, hinting at the moral dilemmas and struggles ahead. "The opening of the book introduces us to the evening setting in the village of Terninques, where we meet Germaine Malorthy, the daughter of a meunier turned politician and brewer." As she navigates her adolescence, her father's confrontations about an undisclosed pregnancy force her into a web of familial and societal pressures. Their dialogue reveals not only the challenges of her situation but also the differing social classes she must contend with, particularly through her interactions with the wealthy marquis. The narrative hints at themes of love, shame, and rebellion as Germaine grapples with her identity and the consequences of her actions amidst the expectations imposed by her father and the wider community.
