| Summary | "Donatienne" by René Bazin is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the character Donatienne, a young Breton woman caught between her responsibilities at home and the prospects of a new life in Paris as a wet nurse. The narrative explores themes of poverty, familial bonds, and the contrasting lives of rural and urban settings. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Donatienne and her husband Jean Louarn, who live in a modest cottage in the countryside of Brittany. Their life is filled with hardship, and the opening chapter reveals that Donatienne has received an unexpected offer to work as a wet nurse in Paris, a prospect that stirs a mix of hope and anxiety in both her and Jean. The chapter vividly describes the couple's emotional turmoil regarding the separation as Donatienne prepares for her departure, reflecting on their life together, the weight of their poverty, and the daunting uncertainty of the future. The emotional landscape is rich, emphasizing the depth of their bond and the struggles faced in rural life. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
