This is a very tongue-in-cheek look at marriage, the first chapter begins with the selection of a husband/wife, continues to the wedding, the bride's first pregnancy, and the uncomfortable fact that mother-in-law is also expecting at the same time. Balzac's humor is unmistakable, and although written many years ago, there is a great deal to be compared with current days.
