"The lives of two young women take different paths after they leave their convent school."
"Extrait : ""Ma chère biche, je suis dehors aussi, moi ! Et si tu ne m'a pas écrit à Blois, je suis aussi la première à noter joli rendez-vous de la correspondance. Relève tes beaux yeux noirs attachés sur ma première phrase, et garde ton exclamation pour la lettre où je te confierai mon premier amour.""À PROPOS DES ÉDITIONS LIGARANLes éditions LIGARAN proposent des versions numériques de qualité de grands livres de la littérature classique mais également des livres rares en partenariat avec la BNF.

"Roman par lettres, paru en feuilleton en 1841-1842. C'est la relation de l'expérience conjugale de deux jeunes femmes nobles. Ici encore Balzac se montre "un chroniqueur rigoureux des moeurs". De plus, il se révèle un féministe malgré lui, comme l'écrit George Sand dans une lettre, reproduite p. 306-308, adressée à l'auteur. Bonne petite édition critique (sommaire biographique, notes, archives de l'oeuvre, etc.)."
"Elles sont deux, Renée et Louise, qui, à peine sorties du couvent, vont suivre des destinées contraires. Faut-il mettre de la passion dans le mariage? Ou y chercher un bonheur raisonnable? Derrière cette 'dispute', menée par correspondance, une lutte sourde oppose deux ambitions : Renée la sage n'exige pas moins de la vie que Louise la folle. Débat sur la mariage, les Mémoires de deux jeunes mariées sont aussi l'histoire d'une rivalité. Et si la sagesse finit par triompher du 'romanesque', il ne faut peut-être pas trop se fier au dénouement: 'J'aimerais mieux être tué par Louise que de vivre longtemps avec Renée', disait Balzac. -- Back cover."
