Summary | "La Demoiselle au Bois Dormant" by B. de Buxy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book is set in a picturesque yet enigmatic environment, following the life of a young girl named Auberte-Anne de Menaudru, who seems to embody the tranquility and innocence associated with her ancestral home, the château de Menaudru. As she navigates her sheltered life, the arrival of new characters introduces potential conflicts that may disrupt her peaceful existence. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Auberte in the lush surroundings of her family's estate, where she contemplates her life and her connections to her lineage. She is depicted as both youthful and mature, grappling with deep questions about her identity and the meaning of her idyllic life. The opening chapters highlight her interactions with her family, particularly her mother, and foreshadow a shift in her world with the introduction of the Droy family, who claim historical ties to their land. As the story unfolds, Auberte's contentment is threatened by the dynamics between old ties and new arrivals, hinting at themes of rivalry, inheritance, and the clash between tradition and modernity.
