Summary "Fromont and Risler — Volume 2" by Alphonse Daudet is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story delves into the complexities of relationships, ambition, and societal pressures as it follows the lives of Claire Fromont, her friend Sidonie, and their husbands, Georges Fromont and Risler. The narrative captures the nuances of jealousy and social ambition, particularly as Sidonie navigates her new life married to Risler while grappling with her feelings for Georges. The opening of the novel introduces the tension between Claire and Sidonie, highlighting Claire's confusion over Sidonie's changing demeanor as their friendship shifts under the strain of jealousy and ambition. Claire, busy with motherhood and familial responsibilities, is uneasily aware of Sidonie's growing ambition to rise socially, which complicates their relationship. Sidonie, feeling out of place among Claire's social circle, reflects on her past and her current desires, caught in the conflict between her insecurity and her aspirations. As both women struggle with their personal circumstances and ambitions, the stage is set for a story filled with emotional entanglements and societal critique.
