AB This paper aims to provide an analysis of two novels written by Mme de Tencin, Les Mémoires du comte de Comminge and Les Malheurs de l'amour, insofar as they can be partly considered as a rewriting of the famous Mme de Lafayette's novel La Princesse de Clèves. The analysis focuses on three main woman characters: Adélaïde, Eugénie and Pauline who appear as << sisters >> of the Princesse de Clèves, each of them being a different version. The paper demonstrates that despite certain similarities, they are not "exact copies" and that Mme de Tencin succeeded in creating complex and original heroines.
