# Jacques

By George Sand.

"Jacques" by George Sand is a novel written in 1833. It centers on a troubled marriage between Jacques, a thirty-five-year-old retired soldier, and his teenage bride Fernande. When a massive quarrel shatters their early hopes, the mismatched couple struggles to understand each other's emotions and worldviews. The arrival of Jacques's sister and her companion further complicates matters, forcing Jacques toward an impossible choice. Sand explores themes of communication, women's education, and the legal constraints of marriage in nineteenth-century France. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
