A Woman Of Thirty (La Femme de Trente Ans), a novel divided in six parts, has been written between 1828 and 1844. The novel tells the story of Julie D'Aiglemont over a 25 years
period. She married, as a young girl, the Marquis d'Aiglemont, who
deceived very soon the romantic dreams of Julie. While the Marquis
wasn't understanding his wife's languidness, Lord Grenville, an english
noble and doctor, managed to cure Julie from her neurosis and be loved
by her. After the death of Lord Grenville and years of mourning, Julie will
cheat again on her husband with the diplomat Félix Vandenesse. She also
will neglect more and more Hélène, the daughter she had with the Marquis
d'Aiglemont. Hélène will never forgive her mother and, one night, she
will leave home with a strange man wanted for murder. The last part of the novel tells the decay of the d'Aiglemont family
as the Marquis is ruined by financial speculations and forced to leave
his family in order to try to make a new fortune in South America.
