This book is a critique towards society, many things deemed as standard and normalcy in society were questioned here by our chemist main character, her daughter, her neighbor, and her intelligent dog. Topics such as marriage, motherhood, education (how awful Madeleine's teacher was!), family, passion, religion, journalism, entertainment, etc especially when it includes women in it are brought up and challenged here.
Everything is perfectly arranged and stitched into a story, the revelation is what closes the book.
