Summary "Les dames vertes" by George Sand is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in 1788 and revolves around the young lawyer, M. Nivières, who is sent on a mission to the château d'Ionis, where he encounters the enchanting Madame d'Ionis and her peculiar family dynamics. The narrative intertwines romance, superstition, and legal intrigue, as M. Nivières grapples with both professional obligations and burgeoning feelings for the beautiful comtesse. At the start of the novel, M. Nivières rides towards the château d'Ionis, reflecting on his aversion to being an advocate despite his capabilities. Upon arriving, he is welcomed by the comtesse’s unattractive mother-in-law and learns of the family's obsession with spirits, particularly the legend of three green ladies believed to haunt the château. After a night spent in the supposedly haunted chamber, he experiences mysterious phenomena, which sets the stage for his relationship with Madame d'Ionis, who is portrayed as compassionate yet caught in the struggles of her marital life and an ongoing legal dispute that threatens her family's fortune. The interactions lead to a mix of humor, tension, and potential romance, enticing readers into the complexities of love and duty against an intriguing supernatural backdrop.
