Summary "Les mariages de province" by Edmond About is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book revolves around the social dynamics and marriages in provincial France, illustrating the lives of its protagonists, including the central character, Professor Henri Marchal, and Mlle Adda Kolb, the daughter of a chanoine. It explores themes of love, social expectations, and the impact of family ties on personal desires. The opening of the novel introduces Henri Marchal as a respected doctor in Strasbourg, who is contemplating marriage. As he interacts with various characters, including his potential love interest, Adda Kolb, the story delves into the complexities of societal expectations concerning marriage. Marchal is pressured by his peers and the society surrounding him, leading to internal conflict about whom he truly loves and desires to marry.
