Small Souls by Louis Couperus Part 2

⭐ Catholic Book Review (4 out of 5 stars):
Louis Couperus’s Small Souls is a finely woven psychological novel that explores the hidden tensions, vanities, and moral struggles of an upper-class Dutch family at the turn of the 20th century.

From a Catholic viewpoint, its great strength lies in its penetrating look at the human soul—capturing pride, resentment, selfishness, and the quiet yearning for reconciliation. While the book does not explicitly promote faith, it resonates with Catholic moral insight into the consequences of unchecked sin and the need for humility.

Some worldly attitudes and moral ambiguities are present, typical of the era’s literary realism, but the narrative’s moral arc invites reflection on virtue, forgiveness, and the fragility of human relationships. Final Verdict:

A rich, atmospheric read for those who enjoy character-driven storytelling and are willing to read between the lines for deeper moral meaning.
