"The Red Lily — Volume 01" by Anatole France is a story from the late 1800s, where we meet Therese, a young Parisian woman struggling with what she wants versus what society expects of her and how boring her life feels. We learn about Therese through her relationships with people like her husband, Count Martin-Belleme, her friend Princess Seniavine, and General Lariviere. She wants more from life and love but feels stuck. At the start, we see Therese in her fancy home, but she's not happy. She thinks about how her rich life doesn't have any real excitement. Her talks with others show how shallow society can be and how strange love is.
