About this book

Petty Troubles of Married Life is credited to Honoré de Balzac. The contents list Part First and Part Second, and each has a preface. One part is addressed directly to the reader as you and says that Caroline talks, or rather babbles, and wants to make a sensation. The text also says that a woman rarely listens and that going into society is going to the stake.

A passage about a carriage says that Adolphe held out and would not yield. The text says that Caroline admitted her husband was right and told her friends Adolphe is right, and that at times Adolphe was perfectly furious. A scene in a boudoir has a conversation in a window-seat, with a man placed in the angle of the balcony among many flowers, and the two friends think themselves alone.
