Summary: "La retraite ardente" by Marcel Prévost is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Stéphanie, a comtesse seeking solace in a convent known as the "Quarantaine." As she navigates her emotional struggles and the consequences of her past relationships, the narrative explores themes of redemption, introspection, and the complexities of love and sacrifice. The opening of the novel sets a vivid scene, describing the lush countryside surrounding the convent and the impact of history on the village nearby. We are introduced to the comtesse as she arrives at the convent after her car breaks down, sparking a new chapter in her life. This serene setting contrasts sharply with her internal turmoil, as she reflects on her tumultuous past and her decision to retreat from the world. The initial interactions with the convent's inhabitants, including the kind-hearted postulant Madeleine and the austere Father Orban, hint at the challenges and transformations that await her as she embarks on this journey of self-discovery and spiritual reflection.
