Summary

"The Law Inevitable" by Louis Couperus is a novel that examines a woman's journey after experiencing a challenging divorce. The story begins with Cornélie de Retz van Loo, a young woman, who is hoping to discover comfort and a new direction for her life, as she arrives in Rome. Living in a boarding house, she deals with societal norms, the complicated webs of relationships, and her own identity, while surrounded by a lively city. Cornélie’s interactions with figures like the mysterious Mr. Rudyard offer a glimpse into her quest for understanding her place in the world. As she meets the other residents and thinks about what she wants from life, Cornélie, once hopeful for art and culture to satisfy her, now faces cultural pressures as she rebuilds her life.
