What do you do when the love of your life dies? Monsieur Lemonnier completely
adores his wife. He spends every second with her. The only thing that their
relationship misses is a baby. The couple has been desperate to expand their
family for years - to no avail. So when his wife falls pregnant, things seem
too good to be true. Until she dies in childbirth. Monsieur Lemonnier
transfers the love he had for his wife onto his son, believing him to be
perfect also. Then a shocking revelation changes absolutely everything. Guy de
Maupassant (1850-1893) was one of the finest practitioners of the French short
story. He was considered a master of both style and dramatic narrative. A
representative of the Naturalist school, he wrote 300 short stories during his
career - alongside a number of novels, travel books, and a volume of verse.
The most notable of his work is considered to be his first short story -
‘Boule de Suif’. His volumes of short stories were heavily influential, with
one of them acting as inspiration for John Ford’s ‘Stagecoach’.
