The Secrets of the Princess of Cadigan is one of the better set among the rich novellas of Balzac. The central character, Princess Cadigan once had a reputation as a coquette, having supposedly numerous lovers in her social set. Political events and her advancing age, thirty six, has motivated her to retire from society, living with her eighteen year old son. Of course things change when a new man falls in love with her.
