'Everything revolved around their love. They were constantly bathed
in a passion that they carried with them, around them, as though it
were the only air they could breathe.' Helene Grandjean, an
attractive young widow, lives a secluded life in Paris with her
only child, Jeanne. Jeanne is a delicate and nervous girl who
jealously guards her mother's affections. When Jeanne falls ill,
she is attended by Dr Deberle, whose growing admiration for Helene
gradually turns into mutual passion. Deberle's wife Juliette,
meanwhile, flirts with a shallow admirer, and Helene, intent on
preventing her adultery, precipitates a crisis whose consequences
are far-reaching. Jeanne realizes she has a rival for Helene's
devotion in the doctor, and begins to exercise a tyrannous hold
over her mother. The eighth novel in Zola's celebrated
Rougon-Macquart series, A Love Story is an intense psychological
and nuanced portrayal of love's different guises. Zola's study
extends most notably to the city of Paris itself, whose shifting
moods reflect Helene's emotional turmoil in passages of
extraordinary lyrical description.
