The twelve stories in this book were written over the past eighteen years. Before taking on their current form, five of them were adapted into newspaper articles and film scripts, and one into a television series.
The story is set during the Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871), and begins with the escape of French citizens from Rouen, under Prussian occupation. Among them is Elizabeth Rousset, "Dunda", a girl of easy morals but a kind heart.
The plot is presented through the intimate confession of a woman, who reveals a secret from her past to her confessor (or trusted friend) – an emotionally and morally complex episode that marked her for the rest of her life.
"Seasons" is a collection of four novellas, three of which have been made into successful films. Each novella symbolically represents a season and explores different aspects of human nature, often through a dark but deeply emotional prism.
