Summary "Le mariage de Chiffon" by Gyp is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Corysande, affectionately nicknamed Chiffon, a spirited sixteen-year-old who navigates the complexities of societal expectations and personal desires as her mother pushes her towards an advantageous marriage with a much older man, the duc d'Aubières. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Chiffon and her conflicted relationship with her mother, the marquise de Bray. Chiffon resists the traditional role of a young woman in her social circle, expressing her reluctance to marry an officer and questioning societal norms. The tension is palpable as her mother pressures her to accept the duc’s marriage proposal, leading to comedic exchanges that showcase Chiffon’s youthful defiance and wit. She contemplates her feelings for the duc, revealing her innocence and the societal forces at play as she wrestles with her own identity amidst her family's expectations.
