Summary "Zibeline — Complete" by marquis de Philippe Massa is a romance novel written during the late 19th century. The story centers on Valentine de Vermont, an unconventional and wealthy French-American woman known as Zibeline, who navigates high society in Paris while seeking to make amends for her father's shady past. Through her wealth and generosity, Zibeline captures the attention of many, weaving her way through the glamorous yet treacherous landscape of Parisian life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Zibeline’s backstory and her recent arrival in Paris after inheriting a fortune from her father. Set against the backdrop of the opulent Restaurant des Freres-Provencaux, the narrative opens with a lavish dinner hosted in honor of a military officer who has just won a steeplechase. As various characters mingle, we witness the complexities of ambition, debt, and social status. The main character, Henri de Prerolles, a young marquis, enters the gaming scene where his life becomes entangled with high stakes, setting the stage for future encounters with Zibeline and the ramifications of their intertwined fates. The opening hints at a story full of intrigue, societal critique, and romantic tension. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
