A short but very tricky read given all those long sentences and the surprisingly complex relations for a novelette of 50 pages, La Princesse de Montpensier is another tale by Madame de La Fayette in her quite distanced and objective narrative style describing the travails of ill-fated love and the limits codes of honour place upon human happiness. I think I liked Tende a little better as it seemed more darkly comic by comparison whereas Montpensier plays more tragic. Hopefully this will be good practice for Princesse de Clèves.

Une princesse de Montpensier qui mériterait d'être plus mise en lumière que la princesse de Clèves. Ce petit livre est tout aussi extraordinaire que son grand frère et concentre toutes les qualités d'écrivains de Madame de Lafayette!
