The psychology of "girl"

Here, we follow the epistolary exchanges Pierre Costals, a brilliant writer with well-defined ideas and very thoughtful, with admirers and their moods and overlaps in their typical "girl." This novel is a hybrid between these letters, which usually remain unanswered on the part of Peter, thinking that introduce the next fictionalized situations and situations to a brilliant study on "girls", their psychology, their will, their shade, as an illustration of the fundamental differences between men and women, in a distinguished and very worked style.

The story is based on Peter and three daughters, Andree, a "girl" on the threshold of losing its status, since it is in its 29th year, scholar and vain, lonely and ugly, clever and without psychology. Pierre, compassionate to his fate, meets his first letters. After a stay in Paris where Andrée pass an evening with Peter, she persuades Peter's love for him and feeds his refusal to live on his hopes to delirium. This relationship is a cruelty to Andree, through feelings of Pierre and ridicule her thoughts, she had so studied, but "words that are not thoughts do not go to heaven."

The other exchange is between Peter and some Theresa, pious young girl, mystical view, subject to temptation, particularly through Pierre. This case is of great interest Pierre, who, if he is not a believer, sintéresse greatly to spirituality. The exchange ends with a mystical crisis hysterical girl, as a negative response that would easily Baudelaire.

This first volume can be read alone, but having read all the volumes, I can assure you that the ideal would be read in one go, as it has a certain unity.
This novel is littered reflections Costals, each exciting on the concept of network / relationship or marriage among others.

I highly recommend this novel, very pleasant, intelligent and definitely push you to want to gather the other volumes.
