Summary "Derrière le voile : roman" by Mathilde Alanic is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds around Dr. Davier and his interactions with the troubled Airvault family, particularly focusing on the implications of the husband's imprisonment and the hardships faced by his wife, Madeleine, and their young daughter, Raymonde. The story explores themes of love, societal judgment, and personal struggle amidst familial challenges. The opening of the novel introduces Dr. Davier as he walks through the streets of Paris, reflecting on the plight of his patient, Madeleine Airvault, who is gravely affected by the accusation against her husband, Raymond. As he visits her, Davier learns about the despair consuming the family, specifically the impact of societal gossip and the harsh reality of their situation. The tension rises when a young Raymonde bursts in, distraught over being teased at school for her father's predicament. This poignant scene sets the tone for the emotional depth and familial connections that will weave through the story, hinting at the themes of innocence, suffering, and the longing for hope in challenging times.
