A teenage girl is married off to a much older baron, grows lonely and slips into a brief affair, and years later, when old love letters surface, it costs her former lover his life in a duel and leaves her divorced, disgraced and dead young.

It is really too wide a field.
Effi Briest, Theodor Fontane
