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 mothers affections. When Jeanne falls ill, she is attended by Dr Deberle, whose growing admiration for Helene gradually turns into mutual passion. Deberles 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 Helenes devotion in the doctor, and begins to exercise a tyrannous hold over her mother. The eighth novel in Zolas celebrated Rougon-Macquart series, A Love Story is an intense psychological and nuanced portrayal of loves different guises. Zolas study extends most notably to the city of Paris itself, whose shifting moods reflect Helenes emotional turmoil in passages of extraordinary lyrical description.
