Description: Everything revolved around their love. They were constantly bathed in a passion that they carried with them around them as though it were the only air they could breathe. H l ne 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 mother's affections. When Jeanne falls ill she is attended by Dr Deberle whose growing admiration for H l ne gradually turns into mutual passion. Deberle's wife Juliette meanwhile flirts with a shallow admirer and H l ne intent on preventing her adultery precipitates a crisis whose consequences are far - reaching. Jeanne realizes she has a rival for H l ne's devotion in the doctor and begins to exercise a tyrannous hold over her mother. The eighth novel in Zola's celebrated Rougon - Macquart series A Love Story is an intense psychological and nuanced portrayal of love's different guises. Zola's study extends most notably to the city of Paris itself whose shifting moods reflect H l ne's emotional turmoil in passages of extraordinary lyrical description.
