Summary: "The Cross of Berny; Or, Irene's Lovers" by Madame Emile de Girardin, Théophile Gautier, Jules Sandeau, and Méry is a novel created by the collaborative effort of four prominent 19th-century French authors. Likely written during the mid-19th century, the book presents a unique narrative style through a series of letters exchanged among its central characters. The story revolves around Irene de Chateaudun, who navigates the complexities of love, self-identity, and societal expectations as she finds herself conflicted between her genuine feelings for Prince de Monbert and her idealized notions of romance. The opening of the novel sets the stage for this emotional turmoil through a letter written by Irene to her confidante, Madame la Vicomtesse de Braimes. Irene expresses her discontent and fear regarding her engagement to Prince de Monbert, despite acknowledging his qualities and charm. She reflects on her past struggles, contrasting them with the pressures of a seemingly "brilliant fortune," which she finds suffocating. This inner conflict leads her to contemplate a retreat to the countryside, where she hopes to sort out her feelings and desires. As the various letters unfold, we are introduced to other characters like Roger de Monbert and Edgar de Meilhan, who also experience their own romantic dilemmas, setting up a rich tapestry of intertwined relationships and emotional challenges.
