3.5/5.
This reads like an Indian commercial film but with the added bonus of incest. It’s exactly like a film, it has revenge, it has a man who hates his wife and wants her to die, it has action, it has murder, it has chases with horses- the whole lot.
It’s about Franval, who marries a young woman, has a daughter with her and then seduces the daughter, Eugenie. He doesn’t let Eugenie study what normal children do, he teaches her philosophy and languages. HIS philosophy, particularly, bringing in this Electra complex but not naturally. Franval educates Eugenie about his own philosophy and makes her hate her mother with a vengeance.
It’s a good book, it’s scandalous and quite realistic.
