"Francois, the adolescent narrator, meets Marthe in Paris at the start of the First World War. The two fall in love while Marthe's husband is away at the front. The themes of family, freedom and passion against a background of war and honour explored in The Devil in the Flesh created a scandal at the time of publication in 1923, the year of the author's death."--P [2] of cover.
