This is George Sand's second novel. Like Indiana, her first, it explores the relationship between men and women. Valentine, an aristocratic girl, falls despearately in love with Benedict, the son of a poor farmer. Again, like Indiana, this novel challenges preconceived masculine assumptions about woman's role in society. In loving Benedict, Valentine rebels against her family and her class.

Valentine
This is the first book by George Sand that I've read that is similar to a Shakespearean tragedy. The others of hers that I've read so far have a happy or a relatively happy ending.
In some ways Valentine, which is Sand's second novel, reminds me of Indiana which was her first. Both are brooding, painful and at time overly emotional love stories with great descriptions of the French countryside. The characters' internal worlds are described in detail. The dialogue is eloquent. In her later works that I've read thus far, Sand added in more dashes of wit.
This is the third novel by George Sand that I've read this year. I'm considering a fourth.
