Summary "The Woman of Mystery" by Maurice Leblanc is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Paul Delroze, whose life is deeply affected by a traumatic incident from his childhood, where he witnessed the brutal murder of his father by a mysterious woman. As the story unfolds, the themes of love, betrayal, and the haunting shadows of the past intertwine, particularly when Paul discovers that the woman he loves, Élisabeth, is the daughter of the very woman linked to his father's death. At the start of the novel, the stage is set on the eve of impending war, as Paul and Élisabeth, newlyweds, journey to her family estate. They share moments of tenderness, but an underlying tension is evident as Paul grapples with painful memories of his father's murder. The opening scenes reveal Paul's childhood recollections, where he encountered both the German Emperor and the mysterious woman who ultimately caused his father's demise. This initial chapter raises questions about fate, the impact of the past on the present, and the complexities of human relationships, hinting at a web of intrigue that escalates as the duo navigates an uncertain future.
