The story centers on a sensitive American man from a respectable family who travels to Paris for the first time. There, he marries a young woman who works on the street (a “cocotte” is a French term, often historical slang, for a kept woman or a prostitute). The narrative explores their relationship and the cultural clashes and complexities arising from their different backgrounds.
