| Summary |
"Zibeline — Volume 3" by marquis de Philippe Massa is a romantic novel set in the backdrop of 19th-century France, likely during the late 1800s. This installment continues the story of the enchanting Mademoiselle de Vermont, also known as Zibeline, as she navigates the complexities of love, wealth, and societal expectations. The narrative intertwines themes of personal sacrifice and repurposing one’s life, against a luxurious setting of high society parties and passionate encounters. The plot details Zibeline's interactions with a range of characters, including General de Prerolles, who struggles with feelings of love tinged by societal pressures and personal scruples. Zibeline's recent endeavors involve her compassionate drive to establish an orphan asylum, revealing her selflessness and the complexities inherent in her social standing. As tensions arise through jealousies and rivalries—particularly with Madame Desvanneaux—Zibeline strives to find her own path. The story escalates when a tragic accident occurs during a horse race, leading to a revelation of love and necessity that reshapes their lives and relationships, ultimately culminating in a union as they confront their pasts and fight for a future together.
