I Dine With My Mother is a novel written by Pierre Henri Adrien Decourcelle and originally published in 1904. The story is set in France and follows the life of a young man named Andr�����, who is deeply devoted to his mother. Despite being a successful lawyer, Andr����� chooses to spend his evenings at home with his mother, sharing meals and conversation with her. However, when Andr����� falls in love with a young woman named Lucie, his relationship with his mother becomes strained. Lucie is from a lower social class, and Andr�����'s mother disapproves of their relationship.
