| Summary | "Odette's Marriage" by Albert Delpit is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Odette, a young woman portrayed as beautiful but troubled, who is navigating the complexities of love and societal expectations in a world where her personal beliefs clash with those imposed by family and friends. The book delves into her relationships with various characters, especially her father, her friend Corinne, and her love interest Paul Frager. At the start of the story, Odette is introduced through a conversation with her friend Mme. Descoutures, who expresses concern over Odette's changed demeanor after a winter spent at home. While Odette grapples with feelings of boredom, a past love interest, and the expectations surrounding her, she insists that she does not wish to marry anyone, despite offers from admirers. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for themes of familial duty, romance, and internal conflict, setting a rich backdrop for Odette's journey as she confronts her own desires and the societal pressures surrounding her marriage. As the narrative unfolds, readers begin to sense the turmoil within Odette, especially when the reappearance of her sister Germaine brings new dynamics into the familial relationships.
