Valentine by George Sand
"Valentine" by George Sand is a novel published in 1832. It tells the story of Valentine, an aristocratic woman who falls in love with Benedict, a peasant farmer. Their forbidden romance confronts the rigid social barriers of Restoration-period France. The novel explores marriage, class inequality, women's limited education, and family loyalty. Set in Sand's beloved Black Valley region, it examines the hypocrisy of social norms without offering easy solutions, allowing these tensions
to unfold naturally. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
