A difficult one from a modern perspective as it's dealing with a couple who would just be divorced today. Nevertheless, I think it makes an interesting point about the position of women in the period. Honorine longs to live independently and earn her own money but she is hopelessly naive, encouraged by her husband who secretly finances her because he can't let her go. The situation for both of them is pretty hopeless. The story is told delicately.
