Read this one to counter the vicious attack L.-F. Céline makes on Mauriac in his novel Conversations with Professor Y, where the Nobel Laureate is ridiculed as appearing “like a mantis” with “no forehead at all” who made “insect-like gestures” . . . later accusing him of having a microcephalic head (“surely he had no frontal lobes”) and referring to his cancer as “magical”. Tsk tsk, Louis. Céline was the more innovative and interesting writer, Mauriac working in the mode of Turgenev, poeticising life among the French bourgeoisie in ways lyrical and frequently bland, except in his mostly captivating masterwork Thérèse. This novel concerns a traditional upper-middle-class family whose “mystery” refers to their elevated status as respected members of the sneering class whose reputation is nearly ruined forever when an uncle shacks up with a woman below his station. Mauriac isn’t satirical or critical of these characters or this society, merely a dewy-eyed chronicler of the passing of time, making him stylishly antiquated and his characters eminently slappable.

"Spring prowled through the days of imitation Winter like someone whom one feels quite close but cannot see. Now and again he thought that he could smell it, only to find it gone again. It was cold. For one brief moment the afternoon light touched the trees with a soft finger, so that the pine-bark glowed like scales, its gummy wounds holding the gleam of sunset. Then suddenly everything went dull. The West wind drove the heavy clouds so low that they hung above the tree-tops, and drew from the ranks of sombre trunks a prolonged moaning" Excuse the long quotation but apart from the fact that it is a lovely passage in my opinion it also captures a little of the atmosphere of the novel. Mauriac, as always, writes about the people he knows. Small landed gentry struggling to maintain their wealth in the swiftly changing world of the turn of the 20th century. A family, in this case, hamstrung with tradition and expectation and cornered by others assumptions. Nothing dramatic happens, nothing on the grand scale and yet we see these men and women struggling to grow and live in the situation in which they find themselves which is, after all, the stuff of great novels. Wealth there is but not enormous amounts for the support of five children as they grow to take their places in a small status driven society. Their uncle, kindly and generous but restrained by his inability to step forward in courage and take the peasant women he loves and lives with as his wife. What would the family say, how would society react? We stand 'Deus ex machina' and know that his nephews and nieces and even his widowed sister-in-law already know but they are equally hidebound by their desire to help him to continue to save face. This obfuscation and hiding and half truths are ridiculous and sad and such a waste of …

This blew my mind. Genuinely, I really enjoyed it. I thought it was going to be a fraught romance but it was a fascinating look into a family, a time, and a society.And I adored the eldest brother, his steady and strong love for his family, his support for his remarkable little brother, his joy in his marriage and respect for his wife, his hard work and effort in service of his loved ones, the seriousness that he approached life with... he was just such a wonderful character and a wonderful man that we rarely see in fiction, even today. His role, I admit, even seemed to me reminiscent of the usual "eldest daughter" role, and so did his attitude and care he showed.
