Indiana is a story about a loveless marriage, but a torrid extramarital romance. The novel was published in 1832, at a time when the plight of women was that of total dependence and submission to the laws of marriage which favored only the husband.
In essence the novel highlights the inequalities between the genders, and viewed through this prism, it became a plea for change in the French marriage laws. As the novel became an instant success, though not without much criticism from the Press.
This translation leaves out some of the jarring and distracting intrusions committed by the narrator. Apart from that, the translation attempts to capture the realistic voices of the characters in play.
