Summary "Catherine's Coquetries: A Tale of French Country Life" by Camille Debans is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story primarily revolves around Catherine Barrau, the beautiful yet capricious wife of a gamekeeper, whose flirtations and rebellious spirit create tension in her marriage and among the peasant community." "The opening of the novel introduces a lively scene where local peasants engage in a playful game inspired by Catherine. The narrative vividly depicts an afternoon of merriment, showcasing Catherine's charming personality and the affection of her husband, Savin. However, underlying tensions emerge as Catherine demonstrates her coquetry, provoking jealousy from Savin and discontent among other villagers, particularly after she is interrupted mid-game by her husband’s arrival. This sets the stage for a complex exploration of relationships, jealousy, and societal norms within the rural setting." (This is an automatically generated summary.)
