The Companion

Annik Raimber, a strong proto-feminist character, navigates the challenges of marriage, family, and professional success while refusing to compromise her principles. In contrast to the victimized Monique Lerbier from the previous novel, Annik embodies unwavering integrity and optimism as she seeks self-fulfillment. The narrative explores her struggle against societal norms and entrenched ideologies, questioning whether true fulfillment is attainable in a world that often demands subordination.
