Summary "Geneviève" by Alphonse Karr is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around Rosalie Lauter, a young and beautiful woman grappling with infidelity, marital tensions, and the complications of a budding romantic interest in a young man named Stoltz. The narrative explores themes of love, loyalty, societal expectations, and the internal struggles of its characters. At the start of the novel, the scene is set during a cold, rainy night in Châlons-sur-Marne, where a half-dressed young man is found on a balcony. This character, later revealed to be Stoltz, is introduced alongside Rosalie Lauter, who is portrayed as both charming and coquetting, yet unfulfilled in her marriage to the indifferent M. Lauter. As Rosalie's growing interest in Stoltz develops against the backdrop of her marital duties and the societal norms of fidelity, readers are drawn into a complex portrait of passion, longing, and internal conflict that hints at the escapades to come, setting an intriguing tone for the unfolding drama.
