From the dust jacket: "This fine novel reveals an unfamiliar side of Zola's art but one no less likely to appeal to his new and already large following of readers in English. It is a simple poignant story of frustrated love and renunciation and a penetrating glimpse into the terrors of childish jealousy. Paris forms the background to the story the Paris landscape seen through the windows of Helene's room drawn at all hours and in all seasons in a series of unforgettable word-pictures. But Zola's mastery of atmosphere and description need no comment; what is most remarkable about this novel is his precise and sympathetic comprehension of the intricacies of the human heart."<br /><br />Condition:<br />Clean covers and spine.
