When she decides to marry Gilbert Vincelle, her mother is shocked. He just isn't right for her. Her mother sees him as a pompous, obstinate youth, humorless and hidebound. But Claudine is adamant. After the wedding, she quickly realizes her mistake. But her family is just as adamant--Claudine has made her choice, and now must adapt to her new husband. Which she does by withdrawing into herself, stifling her creative and carefree nature, and accommodating her stodgy new husband.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the years go by, Claudine has three wonderful children, and pours all her energy and love into them instead.
