The Ball
Irène Némirovsky - 2007
Overview
"Le Bal" portrays the Kampf family's attempt to ascend society's ranks through a grand ball, fueled by recent financial luck. Fourteen-year-old Antoinette longs to attend, but her mother forbids it, repurposing Antoinette's room as a coat check. In a moment of despair and rebellion, Antoinette enacts a swift and terrible revenge. The narrative examines class disparities, mother-daughter relationships, and the profound torments of childhood.
