Love in a Mask, or Imprudence and Happiness
Dive into Love in a Mask, or Imprudence and Happiness, an engaging short novel by Honoré de Balzac, which remained unpublished during his lifetime. The story unfolds at a lively masked ball, where a flirtatious exchange sets the stage for an enchanting tale of romance and intrigue. Balzac masterfully weaves the lives of a captivating young widow with wealth and a dashing cavalry officer, filled with clever twists of hidden identities and unexpected turns. This delightful translation is by Alice M. Ivimy. --Lee Smalley
