| Summary | "Trois femmes" by Pierre Mille is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores complex themes of marriage, divorce, and familial expectations, particularly through the character of Berthe Wilden, who faces a dire situation with her husband, Jacques. The book delves into her struggles with love, tradition, and the societal pressures surrounding her choices. The opening of the novel introduces Berthe Wilden visiting her father, Monsieur Fauli, who is a traditional patriarch maintaining his religious routines. Berthe expresses her concerns about her husband’s failing business, indicating tension in their marriage. Fauli’s response reveals his disdain for Jacques, suggesting divorce as a solution to avoid familial disgrace. As Berthe wrestles with her emotions, including guilt and love for Jacques, the narrative starts to unfold the dynamics between her, her father, and her husband, setting the stage for a complicated exploration of loyalty, duty, and the challenges faced by women in navigating their identities and relationships in a shifting social landscape.
