Serge Panine — Volume 03

"Serge Panine — Volume 03" by Georges Ohnet is a window into the lives of Serge Panine and his wife, Micheline, during the late 1800s. Early in their marriage, the couple returns to Paris after their honeymoon and dives headfirst into a world of extravagant parties and lavish living, but beneath the surface, their happiness is threatened by Serge's gambling habits and potentially reckless spending, which prompts concerns from Micheline's mother. As Micheline's initial joy gives way to worry, the story hints at deeper emotional struggles threatening this seemingly perfect beginning.
