He befriends her husband, an influential businessman, and as their paths cross and re-cross over the years, Mme Arnoux remains the constant, unattainable love of Moreau’s life. It is the beginning of an infatuation that will last a lifetime. Frederic Moreau, a law student returning home to Normandy from Paris, notices Mme Arnoux, a slender, dark woman several years older than himself.
