Encapsulating in luxurious detail the phenomenon of consumer
society - obsessed with image, fashion and instant gratification -
Ladies' Delight vividly depicts the workings of a new commercial
entity, the department store. The novel centres around the story of
Denise, a young shopgirl from the provinces, and Octave Mouret, the
dashing young director of a shopping emporium, who find themselves
torn between the conflicting forces of love, loyalty and ambition.
Set in the heart of the city, Zola's novel - the eleventh in his
Rougon-Macquart series - evokes the giddy pace of Paris's
transition into a modern city and the changes in sexual attitudes
and class relations taking place during the second half of the
nineteenth century.
