It's been years since I read Camus, and I was instantly taken by his turn of phrase. He seems to be able to pour so much meaning into one sentence.
"By so often making her aware that she existed for him he made her exist in reality."
"The years had passed in the semi-darkness behind the half-closed shutters."
What a wonderful story! Janine found herself and experienced a sort of spiritual awakening in her nocturnal stroll. Despite that, it seems she'll never leave Marcel, even after having this glimpse of her possibilities. Perhaps we are all a bit like that.
