The story of Indiana is one of the first stories told by George Sand—a psychological tale of the female heart in all its weakness and its ferocity, with its claims and misconceptions, with its good and bad deeds.
The heroine suffers under her husband’s despotism, Colonel Delmar. Her love for Raymond de Ramière gives her life a new meaning, but they are not meant to be together. Having passed through harsh trials, Indiana finally finds freedom—and love.
