Entre deux âmes
Les membres du Jockey-Club venaient de feter, ce soir, la toute recente election a l'Academie du marquis de Ghiliac, l'auteur celebre de delicates etudes historiques et de romans psychologiques dont la haute valeur litteraire n'etait pas contestable. Dans un des salons luxueux, un groupe, compose de ce que le cercle comptait de plus aristocratique, entourait le nouvel immortel pour prendre conge de lui, car la nuit s'avancait et seuls les joueurs acharnes allaient s'attarder encore.

Well I'm in love with this author and her too perfect heroines.
This one has two evil ows that try in every way to keep the characters separated.
The hero in the beginning is looking for a wife of convenience. He had a first marriage who was unhappy because his wife was too possessive, jealous and unsure, the poor woman died of a pneumonia leaving him with a lil girl.
He's looking for a wife who doesn't love to party and isn't too flashy and silly. Basically a plain homebody.
Two friends of his recommends him a young woman of good destitute family.
He goes there looking for her, and we have the usual description of gentle destitution I love sooo much, and don't ask me why.
He finds out the young woman is a beautiful, graceful, serious young woman and she's basically looking after all her brothers and sisters and parents, too.
She's attracted to him but she's afraid that he could be an atheist and not too reliable.
There's the beginning of a tender feeling, and she accepts his proposal to help her family, but his mother, the evil ow nr 1, disabused her of the notion that he could ever love her or care for her.
She rejects him immediately after the wedding and he leaves her alone with his baby girl, in his country estate, going back to his usual party life.
For months.
The heroine doesn't explain why she rejected him, and what his mother told her, so the Big Misunderstanding is on.
When he comes back some month later he finds she's a very compassionate young woman and falls in love with her, but doesn't understand why she's so lovely to everyone except him.
Eventually she falls in love with him and the BM is out, there's also another woman who wants the hero but he doesn't, and tries to make awful suggestion to the heroine, that he could have killed his first wife, but everything is clear in the end and both women are out of the hero's life.
I couldn't understand why the hero's mother was so cruel but very often Delly's parents are evil and despicable, especially mothers. That's a sad truth.
The hero is besotted with the heroine and she's cold and bitchy, but it's all because of the BM, actually she was falling in love with him and he with her. She's too sensitive to tell him the ugly things his mother said about him... so BM it is!
We don't know if he was celibate during separation, only that he went partying through europe, but he seems to be a honorable person, even if a bit cold, and I think he was faithful to his vows.
Very angsty and very romantic, because the heroine actually changes the man and he becomes a pet in her hands, but since she's too good to be true, they all will be awfully happy and will have tons of children.

C'est d'une mièvrerie ........ d'où seulement 3 étoiles. Dommage, car la description de l'évolution des sentiments d'Elie envers sa femme est prenante.
