Summary "Henriette" by François Coppée is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the life of a beautiful widow, Mrs. Bernard des Vignes, who reflects on her past and the tumultuous relationship with her son, Armand. As she navigates her grief and the memories of her late husband, she faces the challenges of societal expectations and the turbulent emotions surrounding her son's emerging love for a simple working-class girl named Henriette. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to Mrs. Bernard during the funeral of her late husband, Bernard des Vignes, an unremarkable man whose life was marked by indulgent pleasures and neglect of family. As Mrs. Bernard mourns her husband's death, she becomes increasingly focused on her son, Armand, who is a bright and sensitive teenager. The complexities of their relationship become prominent as Armand develops feelings for Henriette, which inevitably leads to tensions between mother and son. The opening sets the stage for a powerful exploration of love, sacrifice, and the societal divides that influence personal relationships. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
