Paul Bourget is one of the most subtle psychologists of French literature at the end of the 19th century, a writer who was able to look at the abyss in a barely noticeable tremor of feelings. He was called the singer of doubt, fear of choice, and the secret mechanisms of the soul. Bourget wrote about things that were rarely talked about aloud: the power of feelings, the destructive power of passion, and the fragility of moral foundations. A Woman's Heart is a novel about love that begins as salvation and turns into a test. The heroine makes a choice between duty and passion, reason and desire, habitual security and dangerous freedom — and each step leads deeper into the trap of her own feelings. This is a story about secret motives, forbidden dreams and the edge beyond which it is impossible to turn back. A subtle psychological novel in which the heart beats louder than the mind, and the price of love is higher than one could imagine.
