Summary "Histoire d'un baiser" by Albert Cim is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story opens with the intriguing events surrounding a scandalous incident involving Mr. Hector Sédeillant, a wealthy banker, and Colette, a seamstress working at his home. The narrative explores themes of infidelity, gossip, and social dynamics within the town of Saint-Servin-sur-Garonne. The opening of the novel sets the stage for a tense drama filled with misunderstandings and societal scrutiny. Mr. Sédeillant’s impulsive and reckless behavior—kissing Colette in his home—sparks outrage and prompts his wife, Madame Palmyre Sédeillant, to confront him aggressively and seek refuge with her father. The incident rapidly evolves into a town scandal, leading to whispers of infidelity that threaten Sédeillant's reputation and fortitude. As word spreads and gossip escalates, the characters navigate the consequences of the scandal, hinting at explorations of morality, reputation, and the fragility of personal ties.
