Les cœurs des femmes sont comme ces petits meubles à secret, pleins de tiroirs emboîtés les uns dans les autres.

Translation

Translated by sellac
Target language: English

Women's hearts are like those little pieces of furniture with secret compartments, full of drawers that seclude one another.
Remarks about the translation
This is the closest I can translate without leaving essential words out. "Meuble à secret" can also be changed to "furniture with cloistered hidings" but it sounds too formal, I guess. The text gives the idea of drawers hiding other drawers inside.
