Publisher's Synopsis
""Portrait of a Lady"" is a novel written by Belgian author Maurice Maeterlinck. The story revolves around a young woman named Ariane who is trapped in a loveless marriage with a wealthy but controlling husband. Despite her attempts to break free and find happiness, she is constantly thwarted by societal expectations and the limitations placed on women in the early 20th century. As Ariane struggles to assert her independence and make her own choices, she must confront the harsh realities of life and the consequences of her actions. Maeterlinck's novel is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the search for personal freedom in a world that often denies it. With its vivid characters and evocative prose, ""Portrait of a Lady"" is a timeless masterpiece of modern literature.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Double Garden, by Maurice Maeterlinck.
