The Bright Side of Life by Mile Zola
When Pauline Quenu is taken to the seaside to live with her relatives, her love of life contrasts with the pessimism which infects the family. This is the twelfth novel in Zola's Rougon-Macquart series, remarkable for it's depictions of intense emotions and physical and mental suffering.
This excellent edition offers a finely judged and authoritative translation of one of Zola's more peculiar novels* Richard Niland, Translation and Literature *
