About This Novel
A group of promiscuous women accompanied the owner of the mansion, Mrs. Tellier, to attend the confirmation ceremony of her brother Rivet's daughter. During the ceremony, Rosa suddenly remembered her first Holy Communion ceremony. The memory of her youth made her burst into tears. Her sisters were equally sad; their tears infected the men, women and children in the church, and they were praised by the priest. In contrast, those sanctimonious "gentlemen" yell at each other behind the scenes and behave in frivolous and vulgar ways. The fireworks women written by Maupassant also have true temperament, but even if they are as straightforward as them, they have to return to the world after the ceremony. These weak women with sincere feelings may have to use songs and tears to commemorate their lost youth and purity...
