Guy de Maupassant 
Widow 

Set during the hunting season, the Chateau Baneville is peopled with guests waiting for the weather to improve.After half-heartedly playing board games, they tell stories. None is so shocking as the one told by Genevieve and the boy who loved her in her youth. With allusions to mental illness and obsession, this is a dark romantic tale, sure to promote some heated conversation. Touching on similar themes as Robert Redford’s ‚Ordinary People, ‚ ‚A Widow‘ is a tragic love story.It will delight fans of other tragic love stories such as Shakespeare’s ‚Romeo and Juliet‘ and Victor Hugo’s ‚The Hunchback of Notre Dame‘. –
