“Our Heart” is a kind of psychological essay about love emancipated women of high society. An exciting plot with unexpected turns is accompanied by such deep and detailed analysis of human feelings and inner motives that the writer’s realistic method sometimes shifts into naturalism. The theme of the tragic loneliness of a person in society, characteristic of Maupassant’s late works—already touched by a mental illness—is softened here by a brilliant and light style of narration.
