Okouzlená duše
I. Aťka a Sylva. II. Léto. Hrdinka románového cyklu Annetta Rivierová jde životem za pravdou: pohrdne pohodlnou existencí dcery bohatého Pařížana a ve své nekompromisnosti raději odmítne sňatek s tím, jemuž se oddala, a stane se svobodnou matkou. Zchudne a pozná trnitou cestu ženy, nechápané okolím, ani sestrou Sylvií (nemanželskou to dcerou Aťčina otce). Odcizení mezi matkou a synem Markem.
