“Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Sensitive Woman, originally published in 1824, is a masterpiece of French Literature.”

- Le Point

It is the year 1814. Upon leaving the theater, our heroine, a widow in love with a young man of few resources, catches sight of her beloved leaving the scene in the company of another woman. In the twenty-four hours that follow, she will address to her lover a series of forty-three letters, each a reflection of the vortex of passions that have assailed her heart. Each expresses, with extraordinary style and precision, a lover’s exasperation and the violence of her emotions that are tragically revealed, at the end, to be borne out of a simple misunderstanding.
