Step into the world of 19th century France with Honoré de Balzac's 'The Jealousies of a Country Town'. This compelling novel is actually two novellas, 'An Old Maid' and 'The Collection of Antiquities', which explore the rivalries between the two dominant salons of the French town of Alencon. In 'An Old Maid', readers witness the struggle to win the heart of the head of the bourgeois salon, Mademoiselle Cormon, while in 'The Collection of Antiquities', they follow the highs and lows of the Comte d'Esgrignon, the son of the aristocratic salon. Balzac's writing is lively and incisive, with well-developed characters and dynamic pacing that will keep readers turning the pages until the very end.
