"La vie secrète" by Édouard Estaunié is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Mlle Noémi Peyrolles, a woman of some means who is deeply rooted in the land she has inherited, navigating the complexities of her social world in a rural French setting. Themes of ambition, societal expectations, and the contrast between personal desires and community roles begin to unfold through Noémi's interactions and observations. The opening of the novel introduces us to Mlle Noémi Peyrolles in her modest dining room as she prepares to socialize with two men, M. Lethois and M. l'abbé Taffin. We learn about Noémi's strong attachment to her land, stemming from her father's humble beginnings, as well as her reluctance to marry, shaped by her brother's wasted potential. As they await their company, discussions arise regarding the recent arrival of a new neighbor, Jude Servin, who is viewed with suspicion by Noémi. Amidst the backdrop of societal rituals and personal grievances, underlying tensions build as they engage in their habitual game of whist, reflecting on their lives and relationships, setting the stage for the unfolding drama.
