"Le mal d’aimer" by Henri Ardel is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the Danestal family, particularly the youngest daughter, France, who is navigating the complexities of family dynamics and societal expectations during a summer vacation. The novel likely explores themes of love, ambition, and the contrast between artistic ideals and pragmatic pursuits, as the characters grapple with their desires and the realities of their social status. The opening of the novel establishes the setting as the Danestal family arrives at Villers-sur-Mer, where they are greeted by the vibrant atmosphere of summer. France Danestal is portrayed as a thoughtful and observant young woman, contrasting with her elegant sister Colette, who is keen on making a favorable impression during their holiday. As they interact with other characters, including the wealthy Asseline family, the narrative hints at underlying tensions regarding social class and marriage prospects. France's reflections on her family's dynamics reveal her desire for independence and artistic expression, setting the stage for potential conflicts between her ambitions and her sister's more material-focused pursuits.
