Le divorce de Cady : roman

The novel opens with a chorus of reader letters, each note turning the author’s imagination into a shared conversation about his characters. Through this lively exchange we are introduced to Cady, a bright but restless Parisian whose charm has already ignited both devotion and jealousy across the city’s literary salons.

Cady’s marriage to the respectable Renaudin soon feels like a costume, its seams fraying under the pressure of expectation and quiet discontent. A sudden, tender connection with the younger, wounded Georges awakens feelings she never allowed herself to name, pulling her toward an inevitable reckoning. The first act follows her as she balances societal duties, whispered betrayals, and a growing hunger for autonomy, setting the stage for a divorce that will test her heart and identity.
