L'amour prodigue by René Maizeroy
"L'amour prodigue" by René Maizeroy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Flossie Joy, a vibrant and somewhat impetuous theater actress, as she embarks on what she believes to be a romantic adventure with the enigmatic prince Ettore of Santa Venere. The narrative delves into themes of love, illusion, and the complexities of human relationships, drawing readers into Flossie's flamboyant world of aspirations and disillusionments. The
opening of the novel introduces Flossie Joy and Ettore as they arrive at a picturesque coastal village for what is framed as their honeymoon. Flossie's playful and bold character is immediately established as she expresses her disappointment in the mundane sea views and engages in witty banter with Ettore. The couple's stay is filled with a mix of charm and tension, leading them to encounter various local characters while trying to maintain their facade of being a newlywed couple. Their interactions set the stage for a narrative that explores Flossie's quest for love and fortune, all while navigating the often unpredictable nature of her relationship with Ettore.
