Book excerpt: In Honoré de Balzac's novel, 'The Hated Son', a dark tale of obsession and violence unfolds in early 16th century France. Against the backdrop of civil war between Huguenots and Catholics, a father will stop at nothing to ensure the continuation of his bloodline. When Jeanne, a young bride, is forced to marry the cruel and violent Comte d'Herouville, her life takes a turn for the worse. With her true love gone and her inheritance in danger, Jeanne's only hope for survival is to bear a son. But the Comte's hatred for her only grows stronger, and Jeanne soon finds herself in a fight for her life and the life of her unborn child.
