A Page of Love (1878) is a novel by French author Emile Zola. The
eighth of twenty volumes of Zola's monumental Les Rougon-Macquart
series is an epic story of family, politics, class, and history
that traces the disparate paths of several French citizens raised
by the same mother. Spanning the entirety of the French Second
Empire, Zola provides a sweeping portrait of change that refuses to
shy away from controversy and truth as it gets to the heart of
heredity and human nature. Helene Grandjean, a member of the Mouret
family, finds herself desperate and alone when her husband Charles
dies from a sudden illness. Left as the sole guardian of her young
daughter Jeanne, she does her best to provide while overcoming the
boundaries of life in a strange new town. Having moved from
Marseilles to the suburbs of Paris only days before Charles' death,
Helene longs for friendship and community. When Jeanne suffers a
violent seizure, she receives assistance from her neighbor, Dr.
Deberle. Soon, Helene befriends Deberle and his wife Juliette, who
introduce her to their family and small circle of acquaintances.
Although she remains wary of romance, Helene soon finds herself
falling in love with a kind and gentle man, a figure capable of
caring for her and her young daughter-a man who is already married.
A Page of Love is a story of family and fate, a thrilling and
detailed novel that continues a series rich enough for its author
to explore in twenty total volumes. With a beautifully designed
cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Emile
Zola's A Page of Love is a classic work of French literature
reimagined for modern readers.
