Mathilde Cazenave is dead, and her mother-in-law is jubilant: she will be able to completely win back her beloved son. Félicité is wrong to rejoice too quickly, because, on the peaceful face of the young dead woman, Fernand glimpses what happiness could have been with Mathilde. Who stopped him from getting along with her, if not his mother? A selfish and spoiled old child, he then turns against this “genitrix” guilty of having pampered him too much. Temporary defeat, the phases of which François Mauriac analyzes with uncompromising lucidity in this bitter and poignant novel, one of his most famous works.
