Description
In nineteenth-century Constantinople, luxury and isolation coexist in a city of contrasts. Fru Inés, a Spanish Levantine woman from Alexandria, has built a life of comfort with her marriage to a Swedish consul. However, beneath the polished façade, she feels lonely and unfulfilled. Her desire for passion leads her to an affair with Arthur Flemming, a young Swede. But their love is threatened by ominous signs and the risk of discovery. As Inés seeks escape from her circumstances, she turns to those who have been carefully kept at bay. This novel, written by Amalie Skram, explores the social constraints that trap women in predetermined roles, highlighting the tensions between personal desire and societal expectations.
