Gerfaut — Volume 3

"Gerfaut — Volume 3" by Charles de Bernard is a story set in a time where marriage is more about obligation than love. It kicks off by showing us the tangled lives of Clemence, Christian, and Gerfaut, diving deep into how their lives are affected by what society expects of them. Clemence is stuck in a marriage that looks good on the outside but leaves her feeling empty, leading her to crave something more than what her husband can give. Christian gives in to a quiet, predictable life, causing a drift between him and Clemence. This makes Clemence feel alone, and she starts to fixate on Gerfaut, her lover, who is shown as someone who understands her but is torn by his own issues. With feelings pulling these characters in different directions, the book looks set to show the struggle between doing what is expected and following your heart.
